- Engine mount replacement on my 1988 Volvo 240 to help with the rough and shaky engine. I originally planned to use stronger mounts but wasn't able to get them.

Mate, you're an absolute legend for posting these!
I hope you realise how valuable your content is for numptys like myself.
This was a very good look at the job, close-up. And all 240s need engine mounts, especially the one on the right, under the oil filter.
Thanks! Yeah that's what Kolja who sent the parts pointed out, the rubber soaking in oil after each change is never good!
ahh the old storm drain vice, used it a few times myself
Great isn't it!
@@Involvod Until something drops down there that shouldn't.
As always the Brit Expat has produced yet another helpful video. Thanks Sledge!
You're very welcome my friend!
Crowfoot wrenches would work on the one you were having difficulty with.
Your creative holding fixture for the motor mount elicited quite a laugh from me!
On a 140 series, the mounts lack the peg that keeps them from spinning which makes removal and installing fun.
I did sorta cringe when you looked up through the engine compartment to address the camera and you didn't have a pair of safety glasses on.
As someone who has in the past had to have metal and plastic removed from his eyes due to similar actions I'd say glasses are much preferred to having one's eyes worked on. :) They don't need to be pricy, just some 3M Virtua's or SecureFit's will do.
Thanks man I know what you mean, I wear those sometimes, but definitely not enough!
Good job. When you revved the engine and the thrust to the side before you fitted the new mounts, reminded me many years ago, when my mate and I forgot to attach the small wire rope at the front of a 1948 2.5 litre Riley. Massive long stroke and the wire held the engine from what seemed at the time , trying to do a somersault when revved . Lol. I notice on my 1970’s Mercedes they have a small shock absorber on the opposite side of the block to absorb the thrust.
Hey sledge, great job on the mounts, looks like it was a tricky job! Safe travels my friend!😉
Was tricky! Thanks buddy 🙂
We need to do the same on Monica so very handy video indeed! Thank you very much 👌
Don't do it like me mate you're better than that 😃
So much easier on a car without aircon. On 240s with it, the driver's side mount is a nightmare. I almost always unbolt the bottom bracket from the crossmember and then unbolt the top one from the block. Then, change the whole mount outside of the engine compartment.
I also always do the passenger's (exhaust) side on the 240s whilst doing an oil change. Makes it much easier.
Pro tip: put a piece of aluminum foil or a rag over the passenger's (exhaust) side mount when you change the oil, to minimize spillage on the mount (which can accelerate its wear).
Proper job on the mounts, it makes a huge difference. Yes, a new transmission mount should help get rid of the rest of that slop. Luckily the trans mount is a much easier job.
Thanks buddy, I hope so!
My top mount on Bev was looser than a piece of wool left in the rain 🤣 great job fella!
😂 Cheers mate
Hello Lili, you are getting there. Another great job Sledge. Take care.
She is! Thanks 🙂
Man your videos bring back a lot of memories of working on my 91 245. Fortunately my 242 has all new mounts but struggling with old squished mounts is a lot of fun.
Ooo a 242! Almost forgotten what they look like 😄
Like Del Boy would say. You know it make sense👍
😄👍
Thank you
Saw a vid on testing those axle stands on here with hydraulic press and they were much better than I expected, failed at something like 8,000kg! Always a good idea putting wheels under chassis just in case. It did look like the engine was trying to escape the engine bay when you started it at the beginning.
I saw that video too! Never would have thought it, but then with the straight tube to the ground I guess it makes sense, I feel like the danger with these stands is them going sideways, the other type are surely better for that. Not that you should have much diagonal force on them of course 😅
@@Involvod I know what you mean about sideways, that's why I agree about putting the wheels under chassis rails as a precaution, better to be safe than sorry. Ramps are good but there is danger in getting the vehicle up on them! I borrowed a great pair of ramps from work years ago that were almost flat to drive on then you wind them up like a jack. Nice to see the Volvos getting a little better each vid.
That sounds cool I wouldn't mind a set of them! Cheers mate
Great job! Thanks for reminding me my car needs them too😂. Need to get me pair of the supports too! Thanks for showing how it's done! The key word is "tricky"🤣
I've not yet seen a 240 that doesn't need them! I think they must be a bit wobbly even from new!
Hey dude thanks for your videos. Helped me with rear parking brake shoes replacement on my 1991 Volvo 240DL. Great content as always!
Hey, thanks! Glad I could help you out!
Nice To See VParts Box :) Greetings From Sweden!
I loved the note on it about Volvos being the best cars in the world or something similar 👌😎
@@Involvod Yeah that slogan is awsome 😉 good to have that company in sweden when working on an 89 740 my self 😄
@@Truckarmartin yeah definitely, I need to check out their site for sure, can't give Skandix all the money 😄
@@Involvod yeah they can be a bit expensive at times😅
nice job! loved your humor as always
Thanks buddy
As far as I see nothing changed after reassemble mounts. But new parts always better than old ones. So fair changes ;)
That's what I thought 😃
nice work!!
Cheers Johnny!
Congrats on a super job! Was LMAO when 'Panzer the pidgeon agrees' popped up 🙂We have (too) many of those as well over here, and no garage so there's a lot of swearing about those flying crap machines.
Haha you'll see in my next video my bird poop problem, it's so annoying!
I did the same job last year on my 745. A couple of days ago I changed the little fuel pump in the gas tank.
It had stop working and I guess 34 years of pumpin fuel is good enough. The pump cost me 370 SEK, a fair price I think. Got it from Mekster.
Nice, that's the thing now with the age of these cars anything can fail after a long life, still surprising how long the original parts last!
Good job mate. Are those mounts identical for left and right side?
I removed the oilfilter, but even though the bolt at the bottom drove me crazy 😵💫
I almost did the same!
U are a Lively sympatic man...I enjoy u work........tell me how to check motor on back window washer in volvo 245....soooo fu........g tight....
Great work! The engine mounts on these are not my favorite. Seemingly every 240 I get has horrible engine mounts too!
Great editing work! You're definitely resourceful with the limited tools you currently have!
Haha cheers buddy. Yeah they always seem to need them, but never had an issue with the later models, even after 30+ years on original mounts
As someone who's done mounts on fwd and rwd, might be the worst thing to install on a car. Especially if you gotta do it on the ground. On the upside, red transmission mounts are stupid easy.
That's true, I've done a few front wheel drive that were alot harder to line up. And thanks that gives me confidence for the trans mount gonna get it on soon
