Hi volvo enthusiasts, im having trouble to know which bolts to fit to secure my engine bracket and torque mount because for soem reason beyond my acknowledge they have been removed or falled apart from my car and that makes car vibrating on hard acceleration and in speeds between 50-65mph even on smooth acceleration, weels were balanced, calibrated fitted new tires , ned drive shafts but problem still there , read some place else the problem would be the torque mount checked my car and parts were missing but I could see they were there before, as such im asking for help with the bolts sizes to fit and best place to buy them apart of Volvo dealerships in Swindon where I have been provided with wrong parts already and that after providing reg plate and VIN number (shocking) , any help would be grateful also those anyone knows a good mechanic that really knows about Volvo's around Wiltshire or Oxfordshire ?

Default Clunk/knock noise when going in throttle. 1st to 2nd gear

Afternoon all I’m new to the forums so forgive me if my first post is wrong but thought I’d leave a reply here rather than start a new post

Recently became an owner of a 2011 V50 Edrive. Noticed a few weeks ago that setting off from first and going into second I hear a single knock noise when I come off the clutch and apply some throttle. I can also hear something when I’m changing gear usually from 1st through to 3rd gear

After reading a few of the replies I’m hoping it’s the engine mounts, would people agree? I’m really hoping it’s not a clutch issue. The car has only done 58k miles

Your problem could be axle ping. It's very common on our cars.

Thanks for the reply I hadn’t heard of that before. After some reading I don’t believe it’s that, I can slightly feel the knock through the gas peddle. I’m also getting a slight squeak coming from the engine when I go into second gear

Yep, that sounds like engine mounts to me.

I have the e-Focus torque mount, I thought it made a difference at the time but that was years ago now so feels normal to me I guess.

I had that on my S40 T5 as well. Made a massive difference in reducing wheel tramping on a hard take off.

That said, for anyone with a diesel, I'm not sure I'd recommend it as I reckon a lot more vibration would transfer from the engine to the cabin.

My steering wheel vibrates sometimes when idling a bit but it's not really that noticeable. Been on the car years now as I say can't really remember what it was like before. Old mount's rubber was cracking anyway so worth replacing.
