Front vacuum engine mounting
S80 D5 front vacuum engine mounting, trying to change it took the nut off the top and the bolt from the bottom, put jack under engine but it did not budge it just jacks the car up at all what am I missing?

You need to take the two bolts out of the engine mount under the crank pulley and the two bolts from the gearbox torque mount as well

Also you might need to loosen the brace across the top of the engine before jacking the engine - just take off the 2 bolts both sides by the strut-top mounting.

To Dan and John thank you for your advice, I found it easy after I took the weight off it and removed the engine mounting bracket, only 3 bolts came off in minutes because I could not get the clearance I wanted to remove the vacuum mounting, it was easy after that

The Haynes manual only suggests top cross member mountings, Turbo pipe that goes underneath and gearbox torque mounting. No need to remove other bits. Jack the engine up until you have sufficient clearance then slide the new one in.
