Bought the car last weekend to replace our p1,v70 t5. Has a very slight rubbing noise which i think is the top engine mount, you can literally grab the strut-brace and twist it! Question being, replace with oem or poly?.
Here she is.

Congratulations on your purchase it looks very nice :smile:.
Volvo did an upgraded & stronger version of the top engine mount as it became a common problem & it's allot better of a design & is like a square shape in with a better bracket if you get one of these it will more than likely never give you any further issues in the future or you could get a polly bush & would also last a lifetime but would give you a bit more vibrations from the engine!

Drilling some 10mm holes in the polybush reduces the vibration so I've heard ;)
