engine mount should i remove for belt change?
newbie question two from me this week
heres my engine bay mount on the v70 mk 3 2009 d5 engine im going to be changing out belts water pump and power steering pump this big ol badboy upper left engine mount (seen in picture directly by power steering bottle ) seems to be in way of everything and blocking easy access from above Do i remove it first to start work ? if so do i need to give support to the engine from underneath by jacking it to compensate for lack of mount ? if i just undo it am i going to stress weight on engine etc can jobs be done from underside leaving mount in place ? or is it simple ?just undo then do back up (correct torques withstanding off course) Last edited by tt82; Jul 17th, 2017 at 08:04.

You need to put in a closing square bracket "]" after the last "[/IMG" so that you get this:

Half-way down the plastic timing belt cover, there's a threaded stud that sticks through from the engine block, to fasten a hose clamp in place.
I had real problems removing the timing belt cover because of this stud, and had to really lever the cover outwards while removing it. It was the hardest part of the whole job on mine !

engine jack for mounts where?
watched one of Sirobbs vids on youtube channel and he changing out his lower mounts and he removes lower gearbox mount then jacks gearbox attached to engine in order so he can raise engine to get mounts out
is this what i should do to avoid busting bottom of engine sump ? ie in order to safely remove the top mount in picture (original thread question) support the engine here ( on gearbox ) or just have block of wood directly under engine block jacked to take weight if thats all then im safe to remove top mount and get on with it am I ? or is this going to result in damage going for simple block of wood under it I know this sounds like serious idiot stuff to those who are day in day out on these engines but so dont want to make a simple move without the clarity for risk of doing massive damage i cant afford at minute im hanging on this ditty |

I used a large bit of wood to spread the load of the engine and put the trolley jack under that

I was less cautious when I did mine, and just rested the trolley jack under the sump. I used the jack to raise the engine to help remove the LHS mount components. And I then recall lowering it to gain access to other parts of the engine. It didn't cause any problems for me, but I can see how a block of would resting against a section of the engine block would have been better. Just make sure when raising/lowering you're not putting tension on any wires, pipes of linkages. I did do a write-up that you might find useful: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=265236
