Default Engine mounts - are they all vacuum dependent?

Good afternoon. My 2009 V70, Manual, 2.0 Diesel, 70,000 miles, has developed an off-load vibration at tickover/idle to around 1200 rpm which can be felt through the steering wheel and seats. The engine can be seen to vibrate a fair bit.
A look on the internet leads me to think that there may be a problem with the vacuum-operated engine mounts. However, it's not clear to me whether these are fitted to all the diesel models or just those with the automatic transmission.
I'm also having difficulty finding any information about the location of the mounts (yes, obviously beneath the engine/gearbox ha ha) on a 2009 V70.
Plenty of info for the earlier models, but I just cannot see the things on mine.
I have a quick look and a search through the posts on here but couldn't find what I was looking for.
Would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction for further info? Or should I not even think about trying to do this job myself?
Many thanks,
Mike.

I'm not sure the 2.0 has vacuum mounts but I'll check Vida later.

Both engine pads are standard, non vacuum type.
It appears that one is at the timing end and the other is under the battery.

Only the D5 has vacuum mounts ... The only time i had an incurable vibration at 1200 rpm on a 2.0 Diesel was after it had been through flood water and bent a con rod very slightly . If yours is at idle too then it is probably a faulty injector .

your only engine mount is the big one on the drivers side at the top , the one on the other side is the gearbox mount in a similar place .

Default Thanks very much!

Cheshired5, Clan - thank you both very much. I'm rather relieved! The top mounts are fine - I had suspected an injector from the outset but was then sidetracked by the blasted vacuum engine mount question.
You've been a great help, thanks.
Mike.
