Volvo XC90 - Replacing front & rear vacuum engine mounts D5

The front and rear engine mounts on the Volvo XC90 are vacuum mounts, with the rear being a particularly tricky one to do.

In this video, I removed and replace both mounts and the vacuum hose on my 2005 Volvo XC90 D5

Thanks a lot. Your video made me do the job within an hour. Yes the space is very limited especially on the rear mounting but it's very doable with your help.

Great job, nicely done! Thanks for all the info you provided!💯

DO you think its worth/easy to change the front sway bar bushings while in there?

Are corteco mounts working fine, because there are very mixed information. Thank you.

Could you tell me how you removed the rear engine mount once it was disassembled? I took it apart but couldn't get it outside. The only way seemed to be between the cardan and the steering box. but it didn't come out. Thanks

Did your brakes seems hard to step on when you had the leak? And better after changing?

I've done the front, side, gearbox and top mount this lunch. I gave the rear a miss for a bit as I thought I'd attack that on its on on a separate day. I've had a horror engine mount job before on my mercedes M275 engine as the access is just non existent.

Hi, are both motor mounts bottom front and rear the same or identical? I would appreciate the answer.

Hi, what does it mean when the wire around the motor lower rear and front motor mount is loose?

Must be a fairly old XC90. My 2012 is far more limited for space at all at the rear engine mount. The electric turbo control system and the dpf pipes/brackets and sensor are all in the way. Seems much more crammed from beneath too.

Does anyone know if the mounts are the interchangeable between the petrol and diesel engine models? I can only find the petrol engine mounts online :(

The metal ring on mine is coming off too, but the vacuum is still holding when I suck on it.
