hello all got myself aT5 estate last week a 95se ,wow what a car i have had v8 rovers v6 capris but nothing comes close to this ,got it of the auto trader internet site from coventry 200,000 miles and a doctor owner well looked after.only slight problem is the top engine stay bar bush has split ,has anyone got the best way to change this without to much greif .great site.
Hi mate :welcome: A canny help you with the question but am sure it wont be long Enjoy the crazy ride...
Hello. I would get a poly bush engine mount from partsforvolvosonline.co.uk, about £20. 15 min to fit (a bit fiddly though). Hope this helps.
Welcome to the site chap. Some say the poly bush ones squeek I got a rubber jobby from the dealers. Not too expensive.
It has also been said that the poly bushes add cabin noise - which can be a good/bad thing depending on your pref. :welcome: Personally I prefer the quieter rubber ones. Where abouts in the world are you?
Hi Welcome to the site, I have had a Poly version fitted and at idol it does resonate a bit, but goes away at 1k revs, The plus with the Poly mount is once it is fitted that is it for life, Whereas rubber ones break down over time.
Helllooo :wave23d: I think the jobs easy enough to do IF you jack the front of the engine up! I could be wrong though, and Im sure some "smartarse" ;) will tell you otherwise :D Welcome to the madhouse :nut:
:welcome: So come tell us abit more about the car and your location Cheers and enjoy the ride
