Excellent video - saved me a ton of money! The Volvo dealership quoted nearly $2K to replace the motor mount and torque bar! Bought the parts from Rockauto for a total of $115 and did it myself in 1-1/2 hours...
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!
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.
@@thomashorton2599 What sort of vibration did you have? I have a judder around 1800-2000 RPM when going up hill in 2nd-3rd gear mostly. I'm toying with the idea of replacing my engine mounts.
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.
And don't forget to inspect the Dog-Bone Torque Rod that is right on top of the engine. I did a separate video on that but, I should have combined them together. Thank you, and Good Luck with your repair.
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
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.
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.
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 😳
Thank you for your time and expertise... you made it look easy...exact solution for 2008 xc70... the car drove (not exactly but close enough) like new on cross country trip which took my car over 200,000 miles....
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
Unfortunately, I did the torque bar separately because I thought that was the problem, so I suggest checking the torque bar on top of the engine and the bottom motor mount. If they check out ok then there is always the shop for diagnostics and you do the repair if you do not like their cost. Some shops will do the inspection for free or some small fee. Typically one half hour of shop time.
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.
No, but I did two seperate videos where I should have combined them. Check the upper torsion bar, same side of the engine, right on top. That could have deteriorated. You, or the mechanic, will have to remove it to replace the motor mount. Have someone put the car in drive and reverse while you watch and listen to the engine.
Thanks for getting back to me. My Torque rod has some fine lines in the rubber, so it may be a combination of both the rod and mount; similar to your situation. I'm having the parts ordered tomorrow or Monday. Cheers.
I was wondering the same thing. replacement the the torque mount because was bad. replaced an axle still nasty noise costing in low speeds and going over like waves in the road. goes away after driving a bit. Can't wait till light out to go check it out. what did you do?
@@michaelkroll5989 I should have updated this, but it ended up being the exact same motor mount for my issue too. After replacement the noise disappeared.
I just replaced mine also.& 2 mts ogo the torque rod mount on top of it. Wish I did them. Both at the same time. But wow I can't belated how much noise & vibrations it made. I swore it was the issues was something else.
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.
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
David Prokity Gotcha. I recently had the power steering pump swapped out and replaced with an OEM unit, but still have a whine that goes with the rev range of the engine. Thought it was air in the system after first, but it’s been over a week since the swap. A few folks have point led to the OEM o-ring on the high pressure line. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
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
@@orlandonino8533 did yours vibrate in drive and reverse when idle or at a stop? Also did it seem like you engine dropped hard when put into reverse? I too have an 07 s80 3.2.
As long as you only replace one engine mount at a time, you don't need a special engine crane (like it says to do in VIDA). The method shown in this video is perfectly fine for anyone at home.
I have a similar issue when where I brake and make a left turn, there is a faint clunk noise. My 2009 XC60 T6 has done it since new. It went into the shop in 2012 both struts replaced. they couldn't figure out the issue. Still makes the same noise 11 years later but no problems yet.
Hugs I found that left gear box rubber mount under battery box was damaged. A new mount solved problem. Another thing is heater hoses from engine to air con. inside passenger room makes a crunk noise. The hose bracket lose out a little bit. There is the gap of the bracket and engine wall . Engine vibration caused of noise from the bracket. Not solved yet.
There are several different part numbers. I recommend "Volvo parts web store" to look up the number and then with the number for your vehicle you can shop around for the best deal.

I also had replaced just the torque mount. Without replacing the top motor mount at the same time, it probably stressed it to fail faster.

Welcome! My apologies for the late response. This is new to me.
Hi David, Same problem. Do you think that the bad motor mount caused the torque rod to break?
Not sure. I did not notice the motor mount until well after the torque rod was replaced but one could have affected the other since they bith out
thanks.
Great video David! Any vibrations at high speeds? Wondering if bad mounts are causing this on my S80.
Vibrations at any speed was never a symptom in this car. Not even for tires. Good Luck figuring out your problem. Thank you for the nice compliment.

I only showed a quick view of how I supported the engine. I used a railroad tie and a bottle jack. I only needed to lift the engine up 1/2 inch.

No but that could be a CV joint problem. Sometimes I pay, or ask the shop to diagnose the problem and then fix it myself.
