Stutopia Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 I felt pretty smug about my Porsche, until I went to the dealer for some work and found myself in the "budget" end of the car park 3 Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted November 18, 2022 Author Posted November 18, 2022 Swapped the Carrera S 20" alloys with summer tyres over to my Winter set. Boxster S 19" alloys with Michelin Pilot Alpins. Gave her a good wash and wax too 😍😍😍 5 Quote

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted November 20, 2022 Author Posted November 20, 2022 I am really liking the look of those alloys over the original. Just a shame that they only do them in 19s. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted December 3, 2022 Author Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) So so happy for my Dad, today one of his dreams came true and he took delivery of something he'd always wanted. Edited December 3, 2022 by The Bounty Bar Kid 8 Quote

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 30, 2023 Author Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) So last week Thursday on my way from home I got an error pop up on the dash. PADM - drive carefully. Took it back to the garage this morning and the left dynamic engine mount is faulty so will need replacing. Whilst googling PADM when I got home last week, I read that I could expect anything from £1000-1500 for one engine mount or £2500 to replace 2 of them. I'm worrying away thinking bloody hell, this might be expensive. After taking her to Cridfords, and having a diagnostic check, I'm happy with the £1100 they have quoted including labour and VAT. Booked her in for the 11th to get sorted and then I can get back to some spirited driving. Never had such good MPG in her 🤣 Edited March 30, 2023 by The Bounty Bar Kid 1 Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Wow the dreaded Engine Mount...I wonder if Porsche would have covered that? Sounds like wear and tear. £1100 seems cheap compared to what some YouTube guy paid. Unless these are different mounts. Isnt it best to replace in pairs?! Edited March 30, 2023 by GranTurismoEra Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 31, 2023 Author Posted March 31, 2023 Yeah I thought that too. Design911 are selling the part for £1000. People replace in pairs to avoid having to go back to get the other one sorted, but I was dreading the cost as it was. I would rather wait until the other one goes and sort it out then. Quote

Im not too sure about that. Maybe someone more mechanically Technical can chime in. Like with most parts. Best to replace in pairs. The other one might go when prices or parts are scarce and you pay more. Seems steep but id change both. One mount would be stronger and fresher than the other. Not sure what the side effects are.

Ekona Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Or better still, strip them out and replace with standard mounts. As much as I fanboi over Porsche, dynamic engine mounts are not something I’ve ever seen any point in what so ever. Quote

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted April 1, 2023 Author Posted April 1, 2023 I'm sure they'd advise me if they thought I was better off replacing both at the same time Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted April 1, 2023 Author Posted April 1, 2023 I'll have a look at my paperwork and see if the other side has already been replaced. Quote

davey_83 Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Sorry to hear that, does seem a rather large and unexpected bill. Always a gamble I guess with not taking out an extended warranty with a premium brand sports car. Might be able to source a good condition used pair. Quote

It's not that big a deal. Paying for 2 would have been at the moment. Quote

Id have been on the blower to Porsche Warranty Services as soon as I left the lot. That being said im not sure if theyd cover it. Maybe, Maybe not. Its kind of expected this type of cost. Id get some type of cover. PDK is £3000 used up to £9000+ for a new unit apparently. Can have a rain fund but its a gamble on what goes next. Some might see cover as a waste of money.
