2000 V70xc - Motor Mount Fix
 

Alright... this car has been through hell and back, and she keeps going like a champ. I'm trying to ensure it stays that way.
The passenger motor mount was making some death-impact noises so I pulled her apart and found the issue... the mount pretty much was nonexistent. Have a look:

I cleaned the mount up just to see what I was working with:

After that, since I was on a very tight budget, I decided to try to rebuild the thing with some good ol' 3M Windo-Weld. Urethane motor mounts on a budget (Or so I was told)!
Now it's time to let them cure and see what happens. I'll let them sit for 24-48 hours and reinstall on the car and take it for a drive.

looks good i may try the same thing
my budget is short

I'm going to put the mount back in the car today after work and take it for a test drive.
I'll let you know how it goes and rides.

I also plan to follow up with post updates to let you guys know how long it lasts, since nobody on any forums seem to have that information.

The Windo-Weld costs $30-$35 at Orielly auto parts, and there seems to be no other brand that makes a similar product.

You can probably get an aftermarket mount for less than that. And then it would actually be fixed.

I looked online for one and could only find one for close to $45-$50 for the one that I needed. I had exactly $36 to play with for this month. If it doesn't work, I'll order a new mount next week. This is simply an experiment to see if the Honda boys were right, or if they were just blowing smoke. Luckily I take the bus to commute to work, so transportation was a non-issue, and I figured this was a chance to figure out whether a seemingly common yet untested myth was true.
