Aftermarket engine mounts
Does anyone know of any currently available aftermarket engine mounts for the W205 C63S? I have had my second driver's side mount fail in 89k miles, and it's pricey to replace. I have inquired with Creative Steel, but they responded that this model is on their roadmap but not scheduled for design or production yet.
I'd swap with the non-S mounts, but I assume there is some circuit trickery required to fool the ECU and keep a code from being thrown. Has anyone done this swap before?

I’m wondering the same thing. I don’t feel like dropping another 3k and my ride mode is stuck in super sport plus extra track stiff mode. It’s getting tough on the back. Plus I drive a 100 miles a day so the life expectancy and factory replacement would be another 3 months.
Has anyone done this?

hey guys
when your engine mounts failed, do you guys get a code in the scanner?
I currently have the code P0AB602 ACTUATION FOR ENGINE MOUNT B HAS OPEN CIRCUIT OR OTHER ELECTRICAL FAULTS. A GENERAL FAULT EXISTS
Or do you get a exclamation mark on dash or anything? how do you know it has failed?

Your issue sounds like a faulty/dirty plug. Unplug, clean and put it back.

did a little google search and came up with this aswell
In the quick test, faults P0A1402 and/or P0AB602 are stored in the Drive Unit, electrical fault or open circuit (signal error) in actuation system. Vibrations or jolting from area of drivetrain when starting off and in low speed ranges (model series 290 only). Faulty acceleration sensor(s) for active engine mounts. Replace both acceleration sensors for the engine mounts. Check software for active engine mounts and apply any updates, if available.
Acceleration sensors?
I swear i have a love hate relationship with this car,

Welcome to my world. This car will bring you happiness when it's working but once every few months something small usually creeps up out of nowhere. It's like whack o mole.
That's from a Xentry for the AMG GT 4 door. Was a software issue.

Keep us in the loop and don't use ECO start/stop.

Rescanned, issue still there.. im guessing the electrical side of the engine mount has failed.
Did a test for engine mounts, by holding brake and putting load on car in drive and reverse, little bit of movement on engine.. not a great deal.
Also Ive never used eco start stop, since ive had the car (2 years) i dont drive it often however
its the first button i press when i start the car, second is the exhaust loud

for the guys interested
Looks like China has a replacement.. (not gonna lie im not too fond of their stuff. but alot of these manufacturers just buy the part from another company and wack their tag on)
Left & right $2800 AUD from China, if you look at the moulding or the cast numbers and prints and imperfections it looks identical

another This one has mercedes boxes
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009146455393.html
singular $1650 AUD again china

another
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/38885880...Bk9SR8y087C5Zg
Now if we do a little bit of investigation
Genuine OEM $950 USD
https://www.europaparts.com/engine-m...8fFkL3kPo7xzim
another Genuine OEM $2050 AUD
https://www.prestigeautoparts.com.au...l0MQ6b3vZkyapY
$1050 USD another Genuine OEM (i presaume it is ) notice how it says made in Poland on box, i would think Mercedes in Germany buy from Poland and not China
https://shop.jasp.ae/products/merced...pn-a2052409300
I have not been able to find a clear photo of a mercedes box of the mount to see if states where it is made.
Maybe1 some1 who has already done can help?
