There are two vacuum engine mounts and their integrity is easily checked with a cheap vacuum gauge. Any loss of vacuum could also obviously caused by a failure of the associated vacuum pipes. With your mileage the mounts are probably tired anyway but I would still have them checked rather than just replaced as a matter of course.👍 See this excellent vid from Cheshired5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30QDz4xnJms

The mounts are approx £100 each and the whole job will be around £400-500.
I would check the whole vacuum system for leaks before you start spending.

the front vacuum mount is very easy to replace and it can easily be done in 20 minutes.
The rear one is much harder on the XC90 due to limited access. That said, still doable.

One point Odysseus,
Simon ( Cheshired5 ) showed replacing front and rear vacuum mounts on an S60. The front mount procedure illustrated is identical on S60 and XC90. The rear vacuum mount on the XC90 is much harder to access than on Simons car because of the Angle gear which provides drive to the rear wheels. A point worth mentioning to the garage.👍

My 2010 xc90, with the same mileage (195k) is showing the same symptoms with the popping noise when removing the oil filler, and quietens down when clamping off the vacuum hose. Odysseus - I’d be interested to know how much this costs to repair - I feel happy tackling the front one as DIY but not the rear one as access seems very limited. Is there a risk to running It like that in the interim? Thanks James

Irritatingly my local garage, who were so responsive and helpful when my turbo pipe cracked, have been surly and dismissive when it comes to the engine mounts.
That said, I do rate the guy's mechanical skills, even if his Volvo knowledge and customer service is a bit wanting, so I'll still get them to do the work. Booked in for next Thursday. He's going to do the two lower mounts - front and back, and they're about £100 each (genuine parts from Volvo). I imagine the eventual bill will be in the £300 to £400 range. I'll of course update this thread when it's done. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I've had quite enough of bloody Coronavirus now. With the kids stuck at home it just seems impossible to be able to get away and get things sorted like I would ordinarily do. Roll on September... |

Well, the Volvo is back on my driveway with ONE new engine mount.
I suppose to their credit they called me half way through the job this morning and said replacing the rear engine mount looks like a very complicated task which may necessitate dropping the subframe, and they wanted my permission to continue. They also stated the rear engine mount looked in far better shape than the (very obviously knackered) front mount. At this point I figured discretion is the better part of valour when it comes to preserving my wallet, so I let them go ahead and change the front mount only. Once the car was home I removed the oil filler cap and I can still here a slight popping, but it's significantly quieter than it was before replacement. Is this normal? I haven't had a chance to take the car out yet (they did a collection and drop off) to see if it's smoother, but it can't have hurt to have replaced an non-functional engine mount, so I'm going to chalk this up as a win. Shiny new front mount in situ. Eventual bill = £213. Once the kids go back to school and I regain control of how I spend my day Ii think I'll get it booked in with IVS to get things looked at properly. |

It seems that basic spanner turning is not something garages want to do any more. The rear mount is a bit tight to get at, but I managed to DIY the job on my drive with basic tools.
