Is that the "legendary" PRV v6 engine?

The Infamous Peugeot POS-V6, the one they used in the Delorean, yep one and the same, some European RV builder used them in motor homes, did not work out well for them either.

Could not keep cams in them was the biggest problem.

Don't they also use the Bosch LH? I'm starting to see a pattern here...

Drill a hole in them and see if they a fluid filled. Then you will know for sure.

A service I gotta do on my daily. Been putting it off for to long, maybe that was wise to see how these volvo mounts hold up. Are these solid?

From what I understand the Volvo mounts are fluid filled. Same quality as the Porsche mounts just cheaper.

At this point refrain from drilling a hole in the Anchor MM's.
First shake them next to your ear. If there is water sloshing around in them they are hydraulic.
Probably good to use.
If they do not slosh then squish them in a vice and see if they collapse easily - you will know if they are good or bad.
