How To Replace ALL 5 Engine Mounts Euro 3 D5/T5 - DIY Volvo V70 S60 XC90 S80 P2 Vacuum Front Rear

I had quite a lot of shaking inside the car like a ferry idling in the dock. After finally getting the Timing Belt and Water Pump done it was time to get on with all 5 engine mounts.
The parts I used were:
Front Vacuum Mount: Volvo 30680751
Rear Vacuum Mount: Febi 22673 (Volvo 30741397)
Right Side Engine Mount: Febi 22687 (Volvo 30748811)
Upper Engine Mount/ Sway Bar: Firstline FEM4123 (Volvo 30645447, 30776354)
Torque Rod/ Gearbox Mount: Febi 22711 (Volvo 30680750)
The reason the parts are mismatched is I was originally quoted for all FEBI parts totalling around £220 however since Brexit (?) all prices appear to have increased and the front vacuum mount was double the price of the rear vacuum mount. I couldn't see a difference between the two so I asked my local motor factors and Volvo Parts (Mill North East Volvo) on eBay however neither could answer correctly. The rear mount has an extra piece of rubber on the bottom where the front doesn't.

This is by far the best video tutorial regarding auto repair that I have seen on KZbin. I appreciate the clear instructions, the clarity of the video, and the exceptional camera angles. Also, I want to really thank you for not making us watch you screw and unscrew every single bolt from start to finish like other videos do! By the way, you just saved me $1200 by providing me the confidence to do the engine mount replacements myself. Well done!

@@IAMASPANNER the car clunks over smaller low speed bumps, preferrably while turning. happens more frequently when the engine is up to operating temp. thats why i suspected the engine mounts to be the culprit. i changed the end links last year for quality lemförder parts, so i dont think those are my issue.

[@tomkirkland]

Did you suffer any adverse effect from disconnecting the vacuum mounts? Mine are worn out, which probably relates to an intermittent error on the turbo actuator

[@IAMASPANNER]

Hi Tom, not if you block the ends of the pipes. If the mounts are cracked or the pipes are left unblocked it stops the turbo working because the vacuum is required for the turbo actuator.

[@patrickgagne8795]

So I just did this job on my 05 xc90. I replaced the front right mount first (near the crank pulley). When I had the jack up the motor to replace the rear pad (which was a PITA), I ended up damaging the new front mount in the process. Recommend doing that mount after doing the pads.

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I think I’d leave the top nut loose on the front mount until the rear was done although I am surprised to hear it would damage it unless it was jacked up quite a lot.

[@patrickgagne8795]

@@IAMASPANNER actually. You’re right. It didn’t damage it. I thought that cause the suv had a weird fast shake at idle. I pulled the mount just yesterday and it was fine.

[@IAMASPANNER]

Hi Chas, that is VERY cheap indeed. They must be the solid conversion ones you can get. Obviously they won’t stiffen as intended with the originals but if you do fit then make sure you block the vacuum lines because they’ll stop your turbo working if left unplugged.

[@cbv8]

[@andreifilip6364]

Gotta say, this vid is a godsend. I've just had all four delivered today after having changed the top three this weekend and I am chomping at the bit to get at it. Despite getting home 3 minutes before sunset, I think I'll go ahead and try tackling the right hand one and the torque bas as soon as I get home. Maybe even the front if I still have light. Also, does anyone have a good explanation as to why the vacuum lines are connected to engine mounts?

[@IAMASPANNER]

The vacuum is applied at idle to stiffen up the mounts and vibrate the car less as far as I know. I’ve had mine disconnected since I bought the car so have no idea how effective they may be but my car improved massively after replacing them all. Hope everything went ok with the mounts!

[@TheBundyworld]

I've changed the rear and front engine/gearbox mounts. Upper and side mount (including the small bushings that attach to the chassis near the strut mounts) were changed last year (~10K km ago). The engine still moves in the chassis quite a lot. I can make it rock sideways by just pushing on the fender while the car is parked. While going over speed bumps you can feel the engine "jumps" under the hood. Is it normal? What are your experience with this?

[@IAMASPANNER]

I have no experience with this but it doesn’t sound right. So you can see the engine rock from side to side by wobbling the car? There should be movement but nothing excessive that feels like it jumps over speed bumps. Are your subframe bolts all tight?

[@TheBundyworld]

@@IAMASPANNER Hello. Yes the bolts are tight. I did check it myself with torque wrench. All is as per spec. I will try to change the right side engine mount. It looks like this is responsible for controlling the sideways motion.

[@teoiani]

Great video, thanks a lot. I just change all engine mounts with your helpfull video. I have little problem, before i change them the vibration inside the car was average, after this change the vibrations are bigger do you have some thoughts or ideas from where could this coming from? Thanks in advance!

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thanks Teo, did you switch to solid mounts, and did you use good quality parts? The rubber compound could be harder transmitting more vibration to the car.

[@teoiani]

I'm not switch to solid they are vacuum mounts and also check the vacuum valve and the pipes. The quality of the parts is interesting case it is possible reason for this problem, but after few days of driving the vibrations weaken, only has some strange noise like resonant buzzzzing on 1300 to 1900 rpm no matter it is parking or drive. I'm start thinking about some displacemnet of the exhaust manifold while i lift the engine. Not sure is this possible? I will try to check while holding these revs which part causes this resonance.

[@johnathandavis9626]

I did three of the five today, Have you removed your turbo actuator already as mine was in the way. Also the one by the wheel, What a bitch so still have two to do. Does the front sphere need to be unbolted as well to do the rear sphere??

[@IAMASPANNER]

It will help to have the front one loose as you need to jack the engine up to get them out. I wouldn't like to use anything less than Febi or genuine Volvo although I haven't tried any of the cheaper ones.

[@youvegotanywish91]

I have a 2011 Volvo s80 I6 engine. Is it the same for my car? Thank you

[@GentilsGarage]

Quick question. I’m replacing the mounts on mine very soon, so it is worth having the vacuum lines connected? Mine have been blanked off, so I’ll be testing the boost control valve and replace the vacuum pipes as they are all blanked off.

[@IAMASPANNER]

I’ve never had them connected to know whether it’s much better but it should be. They firm up as you rev and soften at idle so on my car it’s probably not as smooth as it could be once revving. On mine the plastic connector bits broke. Problem is if they fail it stops your turbo working so I just leave them blanked.

[@GentilsGarage]

@@IAMASPANNER good to know. I replaced mine a few days ago and they seem to be working. Very slight vibration at idle, but less than before. And no more judder when pulling away.

Just changing the top mount helps a lot when your D5 shakes. That mount is on there to dampen vibrations especially when idling.

I’ve just driven mine without the sway bar and top mount attached and it clonks when changing gear so it perhaps does more than we think. Not load bearing but clearly stopping a lot of sway.

Ima see how to change the front and back ones, if they’re diy-able I’ll buy them as well, as I got a lot of vibration and a terrible metallic grinding noise when starting to accelerate, hoped it was just the gearbox one but the new didn’t fix the problem

[@richardmay3248]

Im about to do this job on my v70 2005 2.4 d5 automatic Are my mounts the same? Great video by the way 👍

[@seesikopter]

Should be

[@IAMASPANNER]

They should be the same if your engine cover is plain black. I think even the Euro 4 ones are the same.

[@seesikopter]

By the way, do you might have a clue why my d5244T is so hard to start? Glow plugs are okay.

[@IAMASPANNER]

I have this problem and it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a loss of pressure in the fuel system after the high pressure fuel pump. I won’t know the exact cause unless I ever replace the high pressure pump and possibly the injectors.

[@seesikopter]

@@IAMASPANNER I just rewatched this and saw my comment, it was a fuel pump issue indeed. IMO you’re a p2 god

[@IAMASPANNER]

@@seesikopter that’s great if you got sorted, so did you change the high pressure fuel pump and it fixed the problems?

[@seesikopter]

@@IAMASPANNER it was the pump in the tank. My das replaced that bcs he thought the old one was broken with a cheap aftermarket one After listening closely we didn’t hear a hum, when I changed the fuel filter I think I killed the vacuum that sucked the fuel into the High pressure pump. After then taking the original pump and applying 12v to it it started working. So we put that one in again and the fuel problem, at least this, is gone. I now got a lot of can issues and a lot of issues regarding fuel pressure in the rail. Another issue I had was wrong values from fuel gauge and also that the pump in the tank blocked the flap that secures the fuel to not spill into the pipe. You can imagine how fun it was to fill the tank up again 😂 I’ll have to see if I got the pump seals working, cuz I had filled my tank a lot of times and next day there was diesel all under the car… but your videos are so helpful and informative👍🏼 love watching them

[@IAMASPANNER]

@@seesikopter Thanks for the update, glad my videos are helping. Mine is taking every longer to start, I’ve never had a problem when replacing the fuel filter on mine but from experience on other cars it’s a complete nightmare when there’s no lift pump and you lose the vacuum. I hope you get sorted!

[@LacksSwag4444]

Does this also apply to the 2.4t engine?

[@IAMASPANNER]

I’m not sure which parts exactly are shared with the petrol but it’s possible some will be the same.

[@BenPat88]

Yep they are the same

[@chrishughes1156]

ONLY HAVE TO UNSCREW THE THREE BOLTS ON FRONT ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET TAKE BRACKET WITH MOUNT AND ALL TOGETHER, A LOT EASIER AND QUICKER

[@IAMASPANNER]

I've seen the bolts as I did remove them when changing the gearbox, they're not very easy to get a tool onto depending what tools you have.

[@Philosopat]

What are the torque specs? Thanks!

I don’t have that information, sorry.

@@IAMASPANNER Hey Mate, i got my Mounts today finaly but i had to realize that the Top Mount like in your Video at 05:15 Minute that there is some play in the bearing... is this normal?! i mean i bought it from "Lemförder" in new... but didn´t see this ever before... Do y mean that this normal? This play is only on the horizontal side of the bearing but i can move it form up to the stop from the left to right side... is this seriously normal?!

Good work 👍 Stick to Lemforder parts they are oem and the best

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thank you, I’d have bought all genuine parts if I could but I’ve had so many jobs to do lately I have to watch the £££. I never buy the cheapest parts though always try to get a decent brand.

[@igorsdubrovskis3912]

Agree. Fitted a Febi rear mount, it died after 3 months. Had to change it again, this time it is Corteco

[@peterstayne3765]

The genuine Volvo ones are made by Corteco

[@paulenskis814]

at first i recommend to fix oil leaks, because it will eat your brand new engine mounts wery quickly.... i know it from my personal experience because i have done that mistake year ago and all mounts are dead again:D

[@npegg]

TIL range rover and land rover wheels are 5x108

[@IAMASPANNER]

They do need the centres boring out to fit the Volvo hubs though 👍

Try the rear one on a v70 AWD. Good luck 🤣

No thanks, this was hard enough lol

no torque values?

[@John-ns9lr]

Torqueing nothing to spec is generally the best way to go when doing a tutorial video xD

[@IAMASPANNER]

For the amount of people that would torque to spec it wouldn’t be worth including it. I don’t think there are any components in this procedure where the torque would be vital. Obviously I do torque for wheels, hub nuts, crank pulleys etc.

[@jxramoscar3951]

14:00 I think this is the mount that's probably responsible for a hard metallic noise when accelerating at low speeds. i was getting a lot of feedback through the car so hopefully this is the one that'll change everything. Hi there mate. I’m also facing a metallic buzzing sound when accelerating from a stop and going into 2nd gear. Would you mind a favor listening to this clip of the sound I’m dealing with and mentioning how it compares to your sound. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqbXq4GXpayDsNk

[@Abcdefg-xl8te]

Putting aside the mileage those oil leaks need to rectified firstly and then give that engine bay a through wash down. Filthy.

[@IAMASPANNER]

I’m planning to take the engine out soon as I have a 6 speed box to fit along with air con pump and the crank/cam seals. The heater matrix has just blown too!

[@igorsdubrovskis3912]

Completely wrong order to change them

[@IAMASPANNER]

I realised that while doing it but only way I could’ve changed the video order would’ve been to replace old parts
