PADM Engine Mount - Can't get the parts
Discussion
I've had the dreaded PADM fault pop up and have been waiting 3 weeks for the part via a Porsche specialist to turn up, however it is STILL on back order. Is anyone else experiencing an issue getting hold of this part via a OPC or Specialist? I've got a road trip planned in a couple of weeks and really want it sorted before I go despite knowing that the car can be driven with this fault present.

Yeah could do, but I'd rather keep it OEM despite knowing the gains are VERY marginal
Do the replacements last any longer? Have they been modified?Grantstown said:
Why not standard mounts and code out the fault?
You can't code it out, that's the problem and people have tried for years with no success. Given the way they work an electrical signal energises the magnetic particles in the fluid. They receive varying signals depending on how much the mount needs to firm up based on driving style. Because it's not constant you can't isolate it and it will throw a fault.The small PCB on top of the mount fails, usually water ingress. There is somebody in China who has replicated the PCB and new casing but it's not widely available yet.
Perhaps I was lucky in 91k miles in my 2016 718 Boxster it was still on the original PADM with no record warranty or otherwise of them every being changed.

Wow, these are such a massive PITA! The small PCB on top of the mount fails, usually water ingress. There is somebody in China who has replicated the PCB and new casing but it's not widely available yet.

Thought they were made by Delphi (spinout from GM). Lucas Diesel is part of this group .. but don't do engine mounts. Armitage.Shanks said:

Really interesting, thanks for sharing. The small PCB on top of the mount fails, usually water ingress. There is somebody in China who has replicated the PCB and new casing but it's not widely available yet.
