Other XC90 Problem: - Vacuum mount query

Bigmark12 · May 18th, 2021, 13:17

Hi all
My vacuum mounts on my e4 185 are ready for changing as low or no vacuum being held but it’s going to be 2-3 weeks before I can get them changed.
Can the feed to them be capped off temporarily or is it better just leaving as is and continue running till I can get them changed?
Many thanks

Leaking mounts don't affect turbo control on the Euro 4 D5 unlike on a Euro 3, but I would still block the line until you can replace the mounts as the brakes are vacuum assisted.

Many thanks.
I assume I should be fine capping it off for a couple of weeks then until I can get fresh mounts? May I ask are you the man who has the tutorials on YouTube?
Thanks again

You should be fine.
There's a few Volvo channels but yes I'm one of them.

Many thanks for that. Think I watched your video on the temporary fix for leaking mount but just wasn’t sure how long the temporary bit could be 😝
Thanks again

As temporary as you possibly can considering you're driving with a knackered mount.

Makes sense. Many thanks again 👍

Test them both separately before you replace. You don't want to replace the rear one unless you have to.
