SiRobb, great videos on the S60 D5!
I had issues with the car loosing power (going in to limp mode) contacted Volvo dealer but as usual they told me it could be hundreds of potential issues (but they would be happy to diagnose it for large pot of gold). Searched you tube and found your vids, so bought a vacuum tester and found front engine mount loosing vac, replaced following your vid and all fixed, also found the lower gearbox torque mount shot (now fixed with inner tube).
Keep them coming, they are very clear and straight to the point - well done and thank you.

I cant see my rear mount in my car but ill look again! But must say when it comes to helping people out on youtube i have to say its the best ive seen by far!!! Well done mate.. your gona help so many guys out!!

[grzegorztrojan]

i can only add one advice - do not thight the bolts up right after installation. First start the engine and let it work for some time to sit in proper way. Than turn of the engine and thight them up.
Good Job SiRobb :) TY for sharing.

Thank you so much for this video that allows to prepair mentally to such an operation ! I did it recently, it's a real pleasure to have no vibration in the floor now !

Great video, thank you very much. Based on this video I've done myself the fengine mount change. Based on your other video (with the vacuum leaking - noise from the engine), also managed to diagnose the wrong engine mount. Thank you again, you are a real Volvo expert!

The video is a bit old but you just saved me a lot of hassle. Thank you for this awesome demonstration.

Thanks Si. Just replaced both of mine with Corteco mounts, 110k V70 2005. After renewing the bottom transmission link the engine really vibrated bad at idling. Rear mount not holding any vacuum, front mount leaking slowly. My engine did not go up as easy as yours, started to lift the car ! Had to loosen the rear mount to allow the engine to tilt to release the front mount. Rear mount came out very easy because it had partially collapsed, had to raise the engine another 10mm to get the new one in, bringing the exhaust shield hard up against the brake vacuum unit. The right angle plastic vacuum connector was seized in the rear mount, had to spray with a silicon spray and work it with pliers to release. The new rear mount was a pig to align, had to wedge it in place and lower the engine 2mm at a time to ensure the bolt and vacuum port cleared the bracket holes. Great video thanks, would not have done this without it. 🥇

I could have done with this video when I changed the front & rear vacuum mounts on our D5 XC90 last Summer. The VNT ring on the turbo was knackered so I changed that too. What a of a job that was trying to fit the oil return pipe to the turbo & into the top of the oil sump. Great video! Reminds me of that weekend I spent lying on the driveway trying to figure it all out.

Thank you for the video! I changed mine today on a 06 XC70. There was very little clearance around the sway bar. I used a crowbar to get the socket in to remove the mount, to install it I used a long 1/4" drive extension and socket, using tape to secure the bolt to it. That worked like charm, then I tightened it with a 3/8" drive socket and extension. The front mount was definitely the hardest to remove and get out past the cooling fan. No vacuum connection on my mounts, thankfully!

Changing the two large mounts and the side mount by the main pulley definitely helped. There seems to be better isolation from engine vibration and it makes the shifts feel better.

Class. Just showed me how to rectify my limp mode problem. Changed both mounts and turbos working fine. Been to three garages and spent thousands. New egr valve ect and they couldn’t find the problem. One look on here job done. Keep up the good work. Respect due.

[Christerart]

You forgot to mention you need to replace the lower gear box torque mount as well. Super video though - thanks a zillion. Love your videos - makes it so much easier to run an older Volvo! You're the Man!..:)

Thanks for the video! A warning for xc70 D5 (2007) owners trying to do this job, this is way more complicated. There is no gap to take out the front mount The rear mount bolts are nearly impossible to reach. The top mount is easier but it slightly differs from this one. And jacking the engine up doesn’t release the front mount as shown on the video, for some reason.

awesome videos bud, think I've gotta say my V70 D5 has gotta be one of the best cars to work on and service

[alvinc]

Great video Simon as always - many thanks. I am going to do all five on my 2005 XC70 - the front and rear as shown in your video, the torque rod, side mount and engine mount. In your opinion, would it be best to support the engine, undo the bolts for the rear, front and side, and then replace those three in that order, not placing the top bolts on the rear and front until the side is installed? I can't help feeling that this would give some extra play when lifting the engine. A

Thanks for the video, it was very helpfull. My only problem was that I couldn't reach the bottom bolt with my 1/2" wrench extension, it was to narrow. So I had to buy a 1/4 "" 14 mm socket. and an 1/4 " extension. Once I had those, it was a piece of cake.

[stuarthills]

Just done mine 100% great video only problem I had was rear space was hard with the prop shaft in the way so went via near side wheel to get mount out and back in 👍👍

[prasir]

hy SIROBB
very helpfull videos, great job!!!
i haven't found the test about the vaccum leak solved after changing you front and back you solve the pupping noise doing that?
by the way, as the engine is still working well with the pupping noise, is it necessary to solve this vaccum leak?
regards

Thank you so much for the video. Gave me the confidence to replace the leaking mounts on my 06 D5 You are a legend 😎👍
