I haven’t had an issue with my second one yet, so just go with one as it’s the part that’s 80% of the cost.

I drove on mine for 4 weeks and had no issues what so ever. Just no launch control  

Mine was at 51k!

OPC wanted £1700 for reference. They quoted a higher price for the part than Northway did...

Just wanted to conclude here for anyone searching for this topic in a few years. Work completed last week took around 6 hours and around £1200 for one Active Mount fitted.

Northway were great, so if this happens to you I would go there if you are local. 

So it’s booked in at Northway for the end of April (Earliest they could fit me in). The sensor in the mount was none responsive, so couldn’t reset it or get any other information. It’s one unit so the whole thing is dead and is currently just acting as a standard mount, so no harm in driving it for 4 weeks.

£900 for the part and £300 for labour.

Let us know how you get on in case another one of us has the same issue without the extended warranty! 😲😱

Will do 👍🏻

The reliability of these mounts isn't great Just turned down extending my warranty so fingers crossed. Hope you get things sorted. What about fitting non dynamic mounts and deleting the input? Just throwing up ideas an Indie might know some pragmatic alternative options?

I can understand your thinking but the standard mounts aren’t cheap and I would then need both changing. Not sure how it would effect the used value as well, given that I could no longer list it has sports chrono.

I think your right that it’s worth phoning around a few independents to see what there thoughts are. Surely mine isn’t the first case outside of warranty!

Thanks! So it’s going to be a good £1200+ then with labour even at an Indie.

Edit - Just seen it’s actually £1125 with the VAT ouch. So probably more like £1500 fitted 😐

Yeah going to call Porsche Portsmouth and Northway tomorrow. Will update this thread as it may be useful for others in the future.

I am not against a DIY but think you can only buy them from a dealer. Tried google and eBay but no where you can buy them that I can see.

Thanks for everyone’s feedback! It’s a 2013 and 50k miles, first major fault in the 25k I have owned it.

Fat Haggis I haven’t tried to reset if I am honest but worth a shot to see if it was just a false reading. Need to buy a reader, as guess my 370Z one won’t work! 

Hello All,

Had this pop up during a drive yesterday. After a google it seems to relate to the active engine mounts that come as part of the Sport Chrono pack. Most people seem to have had this fixed under extended warranty but unfortunately I don’t have that pleasure. Anyone had this done before at an independent and if so, do you mind me asking what the damage was?

Thanks,

Adam

Works for me! Sounds great

£650 bargain. Would have thought closer to £1k.

Interesting what you say about the Dyno and manual. I just did some research and it seems you need a 4 wheel dyno to get a proper reading from PDK, as the front wheels not moving confuses the system. Every day is a school day!
