Excellent Video. Here, Here, "don't buy the car if you do not like the sound...." Major plus to any 911 is the flat-6 sounds...IMHO

I purchased my 2015 C2S in March 2016. One mount was replaced by the dealer under warranty in Nov. 2018. While I'd asked them to do both since I'd read they go out in pairs, they refused. 5 weeks later I was back in there, and they did the other under warranty. As of March 2020, warranty is expired. December 2020, message again indicating PADM needs repair. Emailing with Porsche Customer Service to cover this and after 5 weeks, got word today they refuse to cover it. So yeah, looks like I'm paying the $1400 to do the job myself, so vid is much appreciated. I'll mention that I watched the dealer replace this. The guy did not remove the bumper. Instead, he removed the spoiler and went down from the top. I'm thinking like you.......remove the bumper. I'll purchase the OEM mount from FCP Euro, who apparently warranties the things they sell for the life of the car. This could pay off big considering I'm on my second set in 5 years. I should mention I've only got 13,000 miles on the car. My question for you.........did the warning on the dash automatically go out, or did you have to manipulate it with your POR II somehow? I don't have the device, and wondering if I could simply plug in the new one to see if the warning goes out, thereby determining which side is bad.

Hey Choco. Great idea to use FCP... wish I would have thought of that! Especially since you seem to be having a particularly tough experience with the part. It almost makes me wonder if there isn't some other component in the system fouling them out. I have no idea what that could be, just brainstorming. Yes , the dealer goes down from the top, but having not removed the rear bumper before, I wanted to see how complicated that was going to be. The upside is you have all kinds of room to work with when the bumper is off. To answer your question, the warning light went off on its own. It's sounds like you have a good plan as long as the electrical leads are long enough to plug in the new one without having to remove the old. To be honest I'm not sure they are. Let me know and have fun!

I’m a FCP Euro customer, so I believe in their model. With a PADM error, I’m considering a mount with their warranty. That said, you’ll be into them for $3K if your first FCP mount fails (buy the first, if it fails, buy the second, return the first and get FCP credit for the price of the second).

What is total labor time estimate? Especially after getting bumper off Thx

I’ve done a lot of DIY but it seem here that 2 hours of labor if that’s what an Indy or dealer charges, would be worth it since there are a number of spots here where you can mess something up. “Support the engine” is somewhat glossed over. Do I trust myself to do that right without mashing the plastic drain pan? A slip up in disconnecting the bumper or the air box or cracking a connector would not be worth the savings. I love DIY but there’s a risk/reward calculation.

Of note, the rear fascia (bumper cover) needs to be removed to replace the air intake filters (regular maintenance). In short, it is designed to be removed regularly. Agree that supporting the engine can give you pause, but removing the rear end should not.

Wow, ok you are my hero. I've been looking everywhere for someone to post a DYI for these PADM mounts. Thanks for taking the time to record and post this. My only question is to the jacking of the engine. I'm guessing you used a hydraulic with a slab of wood? How much lift did you have to apply, just enough to support it? Cheers!

Hey WetRanger. Glad the video was helpful. I put it together because I couldn't find one and figured if I'm going to work my way through it, I might as well record it and help somebody else! Jacking the engine is only to provide support for when you're removing the mount. I used a hydraulic jack with a 2x6 piece of wood to distribute the weight across the pan. Jack it up slightly beyond the point at which it makes contact. You'll actually be raising the engine a tad in order to take the weight off of the mount. Let me know if you have other questions. Be safe!

@@wetranger9198 Oh man.. What year? I've only had one go bad in my 2013, outside of warranty, of course. I will say the one I replaced it with from the dealer had an updated part number. Porsche said it was a newer version (more stable perhaps?)

I'm super surprised there isnt an exchange for this item. The one you pulled off looked like it was at least repairable. Again great video, not a lot of people are working on 991s. Where did you support the engine when you transferred weight to your floor jack?

This is an electromechanical device, and apparently the electrical part is where the fault lies. I believe they short out. When energized, the mounts stiffen up, but I don't really notice a big difference when they are working or when they go bad.

Hey Brandon. Sorry for the delay. I supported the engine with a hydronic jack and a 1ft section of 2x4 to distribute the weight, under the oil pan. As for whether the PADM is repairable, that would be great but I couldn't find anything suggesting that might be the case. Not being particularly skilled with electrical stuff, I didn't know where to begin. As I recall, the entire part is factory sealed with no way into it. Funny thing is, i still have the old one in my garage. I couldn't bear to throw it out!
