749dark Posted 1August, 2023 Report Share Posted 1August, 2023 Hi all, Driving my GT4 today and a PADM error appeared on the dash. Has anyone experienced this and what does this exactly mean? Thanks Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted 1August, 2023 Report Share Posted 1August, 2023 Porsche PADM is the active engine mounts. Basically electronically controlled to stiffen side to side and when launching. Stops the engine movement when cornering. These can fail but might just be a code fault. Try clearing the code and see. A good independent Porsche mechanic or dealer can check this. 749dark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redracn Posted 2August, 2023 Report Share Posted 2August, 2023 A well known and common as fault. Had it on the GT3. An engine mount needs replacing. I am expecting this to happen regularly given Porsche have not updated the mounts and they are used on a lot of models. 749dark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmy Posted 2August, 2023 Report Share Posted 2August, 2023 Yes had this error and in my case it was the active transmission mounts. They were replaced under warranty so I cannot advise the cost. 749dark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called them and explained that I have an upcoming track day and they asked the car to come in right away so they can fix it. Found a slot for me. sjm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
