Thank you! That "1/2 inch gap" is the elusive but crucial diagnostic step for identifying my apparently bad motor mount.

Sir, you're a life saver. Thanks you for making the vid. Nobody ever works on P3 model volvos. The funny commentary is also appreciated 😄

Thanks, David! It's folks like you who help the rest of us out SO much when it's time to do repairs like this. You've shown that seemingly-daunting (and otherwise expensive) repairs can often be done at home with some basic skills.

Thank you ! Heard this exact noise for the first time this am at cold start up. 6 months ago I replaced the upper torque arm due to deterioration but I had no noise. Now I have the noise. Sounded like a bearing rattle, just for a few seconds, then went away. I park on a slight incline. 162k miles. I'll get under the car & look for the collapsed plate on the mount...excellent tip!

So thankful for this video. It fixed all the noises ant vibrations on my 09 volvo s80 3.2. V6 150000

Thank you! Just replaced ours and it was a MAJOR difference!!

Thanks much for this video. I have exact same problem on my XC70. I think the upper mount link going bad must take out the main mount due to all the side motion. Lesson- replace upper link before it gets too bad. And I have to get one of those elec ratchets.

Hey David, thanks for a perfect tutorial. I changed my 2010 V70 mount and torque rod today and it was straightforward thanks to your help. Saved me a lot as Volvos are expensive to maintain here in Australia. It's like driving a new car now. Brought a smile to my face.

Thank You for taking the time to make this video , made this a 30 minute job for me . Thanks Again .

Freaking amazing dude. My S80 is making the same exact noise in reverse and I thought my transmission was dying lol.

Awesome dude! I just figured I'd take my motor mount out of my XC60 and take look around, and guess what I found? One crisp $100 Dollar bill :-)

Thanks buddy... Mission accomplished. No more sound of death!

I can't find my first comment. So I replaced the Upper torque rod motor mount and the right CV Axel. Both of which were basically destroyed. But I was still getting horrible vibration and the steering wheel loud grinding noises loud thumbs going in reverse and and forward. After replacing the front motor mount as in the video above itCompletely fixed all of the noises and vibrations.. I thought it was my rotors a wheelbaring badBreaks, Is shocks or struts sway bar links . Nope that fixed it though. Thank you so much for the video

Same trouble with my 2010 XC60. Thanks David!!!!!

Amazing! Great tutorial!

Thanks. I have the exact same issue. Top torque mount replaced but didn't help just like you. I'm ordering the mount right now. I appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Great video, I changed mine today, and all the annoying noises are gone.

After watching your video I checked my motor mountain and sure enough it is definitely that. With the engine and idle I pressed on the upper torque rod in the grinding and vibration came back instantly. It was making a very loud noise and vibration and almost grinding noise when driving. But then would disappear after a while. I am going to replace it and we'll leave an update.

Yes details like this are so difficult to find,that little bit about the gap between the mount and bracket is a crucial bit of info...tommorow morning I will be seeing if I have a gap or I'm sitting flush 😳

Thanks for your time.

Good Job👍👍

Thx a lot i have same 2008 xc 70,engine shakes makes noise in stop or reverse,i didnt know location of that mount,u heled me to locate it

Great video David! Any vibrations at high speeds? Wondering if bad mounts are causing this on my S80.

thanks.

Thanks!

Waouh nice thank you very much it worked.... I was desperute to find a solution. 800 € Bill to 110 € for material ! Waouh, merci beaucoup ça a marché pour moi. Je désespérais de trouver une solution. je suis passé d'un devis de 800 € a juste 110 € de pièces merci encore Volvo S80 T6 de 2008. 280 000km

Same problem on my XC70 2010 diesel 2.4. Additionally, it seems the vibration broke the aluminium bracket that support both mounts, so I have to replace it. I have ordered the replacement mount, and it comes in a week. I will let you know what happen with my noise.

Did you happen to hear any noise while coasting too? I've got a similar noise in reverse, but even more so a very rotational vibration that only happens while coasting, braking, anytime I let off the gas. Already had the bearings checked. 2010 Volvo S80 3.2L si6.

Hi David, Same problem. Do you think that the bad motor mount caused the torque rod to break?

i have same car ,it s been shaking and vibrating,baning under hood if my foot on brake either in D mood or R mood,but one releasing food of braking noise is gone,i changed mounts but noise is still ,any idea i will be thankful for ur hel

Worked on a 2009 XC70 that shook when coasting on the highway.

I have a question, i have a 07 S80 and it has the same issue that it vibrates a lot when i start braking, so when replacing the part, what did you use to support the engine and how did you do it because i want to do this myself but i’m afraid of the engine falling since the piece is a motor mount and to replace it you have to remove the top one and the other one that’s broken

Would this cause vibration issues?

My xc60 installs same design engine mount. Do you have other noise problem like crank sound when brake or turn left or right ?.

Did it fix the problem??

Taktığınız parça orginal mi? Ürünün markası ne

Hou much is the Mount?

Do you have a parts number??

"Good one." I hate when that happens, I usually say to myself, "You idiot."

Watched video and took me less than 45 minutes..

I just wish you would say what size tools you need as you work. That’s why I watch tutorials basically.
