Hi Sven,

my 97 S40 2.0l has 210'000km. Since a long time I have a noise problem around 3000rpm (noise is increasing). My upper engine mounts also show no sign of obvious wear but sometimes even without a cracked appearance they may be worn. I have ordered left and right engine mounts and will receive them next week (these are those fitted on model 2000).
Will tell you if it improve anything

But did you check the torque settings of the through bolt of the 4 engine mounts? A loose bolt may cause excessive vibration and sometimes one that is too much tightened too. It would be a good thing to remove the engie mounts completely to inspect them. My front and rear engine mounts were shot one month ago and the engine was vibrating a lot when releasing the clutch pedal. I looked at them and they seemed OK. However after removal I could see little cracks in the rubber. Now those lower engine mounts are new and I have no more shacking of the engine.

Regards

kilou
