Active Engine Mount Fault

Anyone experienced this issue in the past? Presuming I'll need a new unit but wondering how expensive/complex a job it is...

If it's anything like the W212 AMG, the subframe will need to be dropped for the method that the dealership will use and then we're talking about a few hundred dollar part and a $1000 labor bill - allocate $1000-1500 for a dealer and possibly 75% less with a competent Indy.

and my thoughts are replace both when you're in there, they'll advise the same - how many miles on these mounts?

Thanks Peter! Good call to replace both.. have an extended warranty, so wondering about the logistics of that. Hoping they'll only charge minimal labor plus parts on the second mount seeing as they're already dropping the subframe but we shall see.

I'm the third owner but see nothing in the history about a prior replacement, so 59k miles on them I assume!

I had both of mine replaced under warranty @ approx 10K miles. Took 2 months - parts were hard to get.

if they only cover one - I would consider the out of pocket cost to you of replacing the second one as well. Otherwise you'll hope the second mount fails in your warranty period.

I had this completed under CPO and it was an engine-out repair.

Thanks the advice everyone. Car's going in for service tomorrow (also needs a new exhaust flap actuator) - I called the parts department ahead of booking the service and they said the lead time on the parts was only a day or two. We shall see!

Estimate from the dealership came in... insanity. So much so that Fidelity is sending out an adjuster before they approve any work.

I suspect the MM is mostly labor. R&R the entire engine has to be a lot of hours.

While the engine is out - anything else to fix/maintain? (Cough RMS cough)

for the m157 there is a laundry list of these "while engine is out" items

How many miles on the engine?

Incidentally, I am having my RMS replaced (1st time) and they said the motor mounts needed to be replaced...again. it has only been a year or so since they were replaced!

RMS was done shortly before I bought the car (58k miles) and have done less than 1500 miles since. Checked the service log prior to purchase and it was done with the newer part numbers.
