How To Replace The Upper Engine Mount On Your P2 Volvo
One of the most common Volvo engine mounts to fail on your P2 is it's upper engine mount. This engine mount attaches to the upper strut brace on one end and the engine on the other. The mount is designed to prevent the engine from shifting or "Rocking" during shifting and acceleration. The simplest way to diagnose a faulty mount would be to simply perform a visual inspection for cracking or a break in the rubber. This essential information from the DIY blog can be used on the following vehicles:
- 2001-2009 S60
- 2001-2007 V70
- 2003-2007 XC70
- 1999-2006 S80
- 2003-2006 XC90 2.5T, T6
STEP 1:
If equipped with a Volvo turbocharger, remove the two T-25 torx bolts that secure turbo pressure hose to the intake manifold. This will allow the hose to flex a bit so you can later on gain access to the coil cover torx bolts.
STEP 2:
Next remove the upper mount center bolt using a 18mm and 19mm wrench.
STEP 3:
Next remove the 2 strut bar mounting bolts located on the strut turrets on each side of the bar - 4 in total.
STEP 4:
Next remove the plastic clip attached to the strut bar on the passenger side and remove the bar from the vehicle.
STEP 5:
Next remove the 10 T-30 torx bolts holding the coil cover to the top of the engine. Remove the Covers.
STEP 6:
Next remove the 4 upper engine mount mounting bolts. Remove the mount and replace.
Install the new mount in the reverse order.
