V70-AAAHHHRRR Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Howdy... My '99 V70R seems to go through engine mounts like people go through oxygen. Currently all of them are badly worn, and evidently the right engine mount is nearly dissolved due to oil leakage. The upper engine mount is easy prominent enough, but I'd greatly appreaciate some pointers as to where the right engine mount (and the others are). My hope is that knowing more or less where to look, and what IPD's replacement parts look like, I should be able to find them. (Whether or not I can access and replace them is another question entirely. My secondary question is... How feasible is it to replace these myself (assuming I do my own air filters, all fluids, and can identify most parts under the hood at a glance)? Is it completely ridiculous to think I can remove the bad ones and slip new ones in? Is it even safe to try it? If I'm under the car and I loosen one of these, is the engine likely to drop and crush me (that would be bad). Doing a broader search as well, but Volvospeed is always my first place to ask. Thanks in advance for any practical guidance or howling laughs of ridicule. -Kennedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildstyle Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 The Hydraulic mounts will be the most difficult and I've never done it so I can't tell you what is involved. The mount next to the crank can easily be done with a jack and some spanners. The transmission mount appears to be discontinued - I haven't been able to find a replacement for it. All things considered it's mostly just a case of raising the engine with a jack and removing the mounts. If you're going through them quickly, get them through FCP so that you can just return the used parts and get new ones for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmdubya1198 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Definitely get them from FCP. If they ever go out again, you can return them for free replacements. The front hydraulic mount is a little bit of a pain from what I've heard, but definitely doable. FCP has a great video on Youtube on replacing this mount. Because your car is AWD, you do not have the rear hydraulic mount. Instead, you have a threaded rod style mount on the driver's side which is visible with the wheel removed behind the fender liner. Here is what it looks like https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-engine-mount-front-left-lower-v70-s70-awd-9161101-1 The passenger side mount is easy. Just place a block of wood on the oil pan and carefully jack up the engine a little bit to relieve pressure on the mount, unbolt it, and bolt in the new one. Pretty much the same idea for the other two mounts. The upper torque mount doesn't require lifting the car. You might want to do so for the lower one if you plan on replacing it.
