Annoying vibration

[madspark01]

I have just got my car back from my daughter after her car was in for repair after 6 weeks. Glad to have my car back jumped in it started it and thought can't remember that vibration then I selected reverse and though what the F&^%. And the same vibration in drive but only at idle in both cases car drives and pulls great with no smoke or issues but an annoying vibration at idle.
I am guessing possible engine mount or mounts any ideas or guidance welcome I did price for set of 5 FEBI mounts @ £243 for the set. I looked up how to change engine mounts on YouTube and the video I selected had almost identical symptoms which is making me think mounts. But any suggestions welcome
cheers

Hi,

I would first take it back to the reparers and as what they did. What area were they working on.

But I would also check prices of mounts from genuine Volvo outlets by (for example) speaking to frf Swansea and getting a quote. It may be well worthwhile fitting genuine Volvo.

There are forum members who have posted the fact that they fitted sub standard parts with poor results.

Chances are it’ll be the top & or bottom stabiliser mounts, I’ve just changed mine last week, using the brand new ones off my scrap V70 out of tightness😆
The car now seems quieter, I did think it was noisy compared with the V70

its the engine mounts
engine moves about 25-30mm on top stabiliser connected to strut brace when selecting drive or reverse also engine on bump stop at gearbox so rear mount defo knackered
I recon if that one is in that state I will be as well changing them all

Sounds a sound plan to me.

I see genuine Volvo mounts on the bay, I am sure you can get similar from Volvo supplier like frf Swansea and as for Volvo forum discount.

Beware some OEM 'compstible' mounts that should be vacuume, are not!

Changed the 5 engine mounts rear one a total Sh*& to do as I have big hands but managed anyway. I used Lemforder mounts not the cheapest but well worth it as feels and sounds totally different in a good way.
Glad I done them and car a lot quieter and feels smoother 3 of them were totally shot one had no rubber in it so explains a lot.
next job is to do another drop and fill fluid change on the gearbox already done 10 litres a couple of months ago will do the other 10 litres asap then get gearbox counter reset somehow as struggling to get someone in fife with vida if anyone can give guidance on same you ar more than welcome
cheers
