991 Dynamic Engine Mount (PADM) Failure
I have experienced a failure of my left dynamic engine mount on my '15 991 Targa 4S with 16K miles. The early PADM mounts have been problematic and Porsche has revised part at least four times (was part #991.375.059.06, then xxx.07, then xxx.08 and now xxx.09). My Porsche dealer said he has not seen failures with the xxx.09 part which is good news as it's >$1,400.
Options are replacing with the new OEM part (Pelican Parts has a tutorial available) or use aftermarket tunable solid mounts and code out the alert. Pelican's new lifetime guarantee sure helps here. Anyone have recent experience to share?
Yes, I am reluctant to move away from OE parts, but I'm not tracking my Targa and the PADM system's impact is very much at the margin. I don't want to experience multiple failures of a $1,400 part (2 per vehicle).
