my trusted assistant helping me once more. I'll skip all of the bumper / tail lights / spoiler removal as they are pretty well covered (thank you Pelican for the nice write ups!)

View of the mount from the top. First jack up the engine (just support it), use a sturdy piece of wood to not stress the plastic oil pan. Then remove the bottom 18mm nut, and the two e17 (I believe) screws. The mount can be removed without removing anything else but it is a PITA. the housing seen on the lef of this picture is interfering. See the difference in size below:

PADM mount on the right, Static mount on the left... Weight savings! I will open the active mount to see if there is anything weird with it. I have a feeling it is "tired" which is interesting, as I believe these do not have any rubber, just ferromagnetic fluid.

New mount ready to be torqued. 23 N.m for the top screws and 86 N.m for the 18mm nut. All new hardware of course.

Tried playing with this setting in the PASM module, reverting to PASM -10 (without the PADM function), but it popped a PASM and headlight failure. I was a bit scared but able to revert to normal. oof!

Playing again with coding, I found this setting in the instrument cluster, which basically prevents the fault to be displayed on the dash. This seems to be the ticket, as coding out PADM seems tricky, unless you have a DSC controller. It seems a specific version of PIWIS is needed (not the latest). The fault can be present and doesn't affect anything (PASM / PSM etc.)

Flipping the mount upside down, yep this is coming from the mount. I’m not sure this is supposed to leak like that… interestingly, the values for pressure and current (both signals monitored for PADM) were still within spec, as I had no fault. This means the mounts can indeed start to fail without you knowing about it. Happy I did all of this, my suspicion is confirmed!

Nothing wrong on either mount, dry as new. Weird.
