Hi there. Am a new guy, was poking around the old postings and came across yours. I've just acquired a 1999 S40 2.0T, and the car engine vibrates when idle (with gear engaged; no vibration when neutral). Was this what you experienced? Have you found out the cause? I was told it might be the engine mounting.

Re: Vibration (Elwood)
I've decided that I'm going to have the engine mountings replaced the next time I bring it in for its scheduled service in a couple of months. I'll keep you guys posted as to how it turns out.

Re: (pyaap)
On the recommendation of my mechanic, I have replaced only one engine mounting (the right-hand side one only). The other three mountings were ignored. The vibrations have disappeared. I took a look at the old mounting: the bloody thing was all warped inside, with prominent gaps. If Volvo says "that's just the way it is", well, then, shame on Volvo.
