Just collected my parts yesterday and will be swapping mine out at the weekend probably. And yes, that is 8 nuts at £2.17+vat each in there..... Ok so that’s 1k for parts for one side! Ouch. I wrongly assumed that was the price plus labour for both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuno1 Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Also, would a pre purchase inspection pick up if these were on the way out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, nothing visible on the mounts to indicate failure, only the warning on the dash once there is a fault. But you can ask whoever is doing a pre purchase inspection about it and see what they say, they probably know more than me. Let us know what they say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of the cost of replacing one or both of these is the parts themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine everyone had been paying 4 figures for a loose wire in the plug housing 😂😂😂 Speaking of cost....wonder if I should charge per view of my "HowTo" and "StripDown", might cover the cost of the parts eventually 🤣😂 From a quick look they don't look easy to disassemble without an angle grinder, but I'll look closer when it's off.

Well confirmed it's a straight swap. Got bored and finished work early so went for it. Went from this: To this: Winner! Just got to finish putting the transmission plate, diagonal braces and undertray back on, that's a job for another day along with a fuller write up on the process. Now waiting for the right one to fail..... New vs Old side by side Edited November 17, 2021 by CMA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygo Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Thanks. Mine are (touches wood) ok at the mo, but it's nice to see some detail so if I ever need to look at mine, I (and others) can refer back to someone who has sorted it themsleves! Top work & appreciated by thousands of 981 drivers worldwide. (Maybe.. ) Edited November 18, 2021 by andygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrOvershoot Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Well I got the PADM code today after some spirited driving in North Wales. Got all the tools to change them myself, but might ask my local Indy Porsche place how much extra to do during a service? I also know a company that will have a look at the old units to see what the fault might be and they also know how to repair pretty much anything Edited June 14, 2022 by MrOvershoot 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTSMarky Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 My light came on a while ago and I just ignore it for now. No discernible difference in ordinary driving so I'll get it sorted with the Indy service later in the year. FYI the quoted cost to me was £752.61 + VAT for the part & 2 hours labour , so about a grand. It's pretty poor that Porsche don't admit this and simply provide the parts at cost under a good will banner if they see the fault code, but that is why I guess I'm glad to be away from OPCs..

Menoporsche Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Is anyone noting the part numbers of the failing mounts? The comparison photo above shows a failed part of .05 and a replacement part of .07. Anyone know when was the change (discussion of 2013-14, 15 above) and whether newer mounts have failed? And if the sensor works on resistance, would it help to put a meter across the terminals of a failed and new unit to see if there is a clear difference? All random thoughts from my sofa… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same lalala attitude by Porsche as my warped door trim I'm afraid. To be fair, I think all car manufacturers are the same which I suppose makes business sense unfortunately.

All random thoughts from my sofa… When i had my second unit replaced i asked the tech if any of the replacement units had failed, he said that a design change had been made and he had not seen the replacements fail. I don't know if this is genuine or it was just towing the company line. Even if the design was changed it doesn't mean there would be a change in resistance necessarily, i suspect the electrical properties would need to be pretty close to allow the control electronics to work properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
