Great video - helped me tremendously today replacing the same mounts. I didn’t do it in 5 mins (more like 20) but it’s done and no more rattle and shake.
Just finished doing this on my xc60. This video definitely made the job less intimidating. Despite putting a jack and wood under the oil pan the engine still shifted quite a bit when I unbolted the top bracket. Somehow managed to put it all back together. Not too bad of a job but my Makita electric impact wasnt strong enough to undo those bolts, needed a breaker bar.
Thank you I just did exactly what you do on the video and the noise is gone but tomorrow or Tuesday is going to be a better weather I will replace the other ones since it will still give more weigh on the new engine mount , just make note you need to have a jack under the engine so can able to install the new mount , thanks for your video no one else have a video from a 2008 Volvo and up !
This is one fun video to watch! I am going to be changing mine tomorrow morning and have watched this multiple times because you make it look so fun! haha! Thanks for sharing this, and keep up the great work...
That was bloody fast man!!! Thanks for the video. Do you happen to have a video for removing the fuel rail and injectors? Do I have to remove the mount completely or is it enough just to loosen the bolts and lower the engine so I can remove the rail? Sorry for the off topic.
@@zechariahlemmon8227 No worries. Yes, that is correct. I want to remove the injectors for cleaning. Do I have to remove the engine mount completely or I can just loosen the bolts and lower the engine just enough to pull the rail out?
@@steliandragomir6815 yes u can but if i was u removing the mount out of the way is best . Long as u put a piece of wood in between your jack and oil pan u should be ok . I would leave it like that for a lon period of tim. Know what's your reasoning for cleaning the injectors tryi because those are sealed units. What problems are u trying to fix 🤔. When removing them u need new o rings in some cases
@@zechariahlemmon8227 Volvo dealer said one injector is not spraying correctly and I should replace it. I thought I might try to clean them first with a specialised company. However, I’m not so sure anymore and I might end up replacing it, along with new o rings for the other 5.
Thanks for the video. I just bought this model as basic daily driver. I only have vibrations when the AC is running but I do get a popping noise when accelerating from a stop or turning. Could it be the mounts here?
I would look to see how low that mount is sitting . If it's hitting the body u might get some noise differently would get vibration from the body of the car if the mount its supporting the weight
I'm considering just buying aftermarket replacements for these two mounts instead of OEM as they are about 1/3 of the price. Do you think it makes a huge difference to get OEM? I will probably only drive the car about 30-40k miles over the next 3-4 years.
caloferrero78 These two upper mounts causes noise and vibrations the mount that sit under the upper torque mount and bracket collapses and then it sits low which causes the noise when you brake or at idle
So just to be clear, you have to support the engine underneath with a jack before doing this correct? Is there a particular part of the engine you should out the jack on? Do you need only one jack?
Hey, I was wondering about this problem I have on my 2012 Volvo XC60 T6 R-design, when shifting gears, there is a kick. I am not sure if it is a transmission problem or an engine mount needed to be replaced? Mind getting some feedback or help? Thank you
🤔 is there a vibration coming from the steering wheel whn the car is in gear . I would have one sit in the car shift the car from drive to reverse and watch the moment.
@@zechariahlemmon8227 Got it, thank you sir. Any need of changing the engine mounts? there are at times where the engine does jump too a bit when it shifted into gear?
Yes a piece of wood with a jack . The upper torque mount ok aka dog bone might not line up with u have to play with if its your first time installing it let me know
Zechariah Lemmon I have a Volvo XC60 with a 3.2. I had to add almost 1 quart of oil after 1500 miles. The engine has 150,000 miles on it. There is no evidence of a leak. What causes this and is there a solution?

Just another day in the office
Make sure u support the engine with a jack
That guy knew what he was doing!
Great video to see how it all hangs together, thank you. Not sure if the torque settings are on point, but sees to have done this before!
I've been working on car for while most of my tool I kind know where the spec are
Very fast! Thanks for the vídeo.

@@steliandragomir6815 if u could spare the money replace as set . They were all place in the vehicle at the same time . U may have another one go soon
It's very easy when you have proper tools.
Yes it is

Buy from fcp Euro.com if u go that route all parts 100% warranty for life
Curious how did you know that was the problem to do the repair what symptoms did the car have?
I was a volvo master tech . U can ck the height on mount bracket if it looks like it touches the mount has Collapsed
What about the other engine mount ? It will be better to replace everyone since are same age ?

Yes u have to use a jack stand with a piece of wood or u car just use a jack.
Thanks for making this video Zechariah! Does anyone know what the proper torque is for these bolts? Thanks again!
There is a torque for them but most of use just run them down tight. With a 1/4 turn

@@zechariahlemmon8227 There are no vibrations luckily
@@MichaelLazarov im sorry i miss read wht u was asking if there's a delay than the kick then yes u have something wrong inside your transmission
@@zechariahlemmon8227 Got it, thank you sir. Any need of changing the engine mounts? there are at times where the engine does jump too a bit when it shifted into gear?
Did you support engine by something when you replace?
Yes a piece of wood with a jack . The upper torque mount ok aka dog bone might not line up with u have to play with if its your first time installing it let me know
Lol sorry i jack it on the oil pan
Just to let u when the mile builds up on those motors they burn oil like crazy if it help get out of that vovlo
