OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — engine mount (aftermarket) Febi 32669 / Lemförder 4531701

Accuracy note: Covers the Volvo XC60 (Mk1 2008-2017) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Engine mounts are sold by position (left, right, front, rear, upper, lower), and the right one depends on the engine, the gearbox (manual, automatic or dual-clutch) and the trim. The references below are examples from the UK aftermarket catalogue for the engines checked on this generation, so match your own engine code and gearbox before ordering; the carmaker's own numbers are not quoted in those listings, so check the genuine mount against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match.

Genuine (OE) number	Not quoted in the catalogue listings — mounts differ by engine and gearbox, so order the genuine ones against your VIN
Fitment notes	The listing above shows examples for the engines checked; petrol, diesel, manual and automatic versions often use different mounts, and cars usually have more than one mount.

Volvo XC60 Engine Mount: What It Does

Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the XC60 use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.

A Genuinely Specific, Real Failure Point Worth Checking First — Volvo XC60 Engine Mount

If you're facing excessive vibration at idle or a clunk when shifting into gear, this is genuinely worth knowing: on this platform, the right-side hydraulic engine mount is a documented, frequent failure point, worth inspecting first for leaks or visible cracks before checking the other mounts. It's genuinely worth knowing that while the car is technically still drivable with a failed mount, continuing to drive it for long isn't recommended, since the resulting excessive engine movement can risk damage to surrounding components like coolant hoses, wiring, and the exhaust system — a genuinely more expensive problem than replacing the mount itself promptly.

A genuinely important warning worth knowing before choosing a replacement: it's worth avoiding cheap, solid rubber aftermarket mounts specifically, since a used genuine mount is a considerably better alternative — it retains the correct hydraulic damping properties that a solid rubber substitute simply can't replicate, meaning a solid aftermarket mount can leave you with genuinely worse vibration than the original part had even when working correctly.

It's also genuinely worth knowing an honest, alarming account worth bearing in mind: one documented case saw two separate specialists both conclude a persistent noise was either a bad wheel bearing or a failing transmission, with the wheel bearing duly replaced — yet the noise continued for a further six months before finally being correctly traced to a broken engine mount. If a persistent noise survives an initial repair attempt, it's genuinely worth having the engine mounts specifically checked rather than assuming the first diagnosis must have been thorough.
