PADM Engine Mount Sensor for Porsche 911 / 718 (997/991/992/981/982)

PADM Disabled? Service Required warning on the dash? Active mounts not switching modes? Your Porsche's active engine mounts (PADM) have failed sensors — a known issue across 997, 991, 992, 981, 982, and 718 models. This is the OEM-compatible replacement that fixes it.
Are You Experiencing Any of These? (Common Symptoms)

"PADM Disabled — Service Required" warning appears on your dashboard
Inconsistent or "jittery" engine response in Sport / Sport Plus mode
Visible engine vibration at idle that wasn't there when you bought the car
Workshop already replaced the engine mount once but the warning came back within months
Check Engine Light keeps coming back after clearing codes
Fault codes 001013 or 001023 logged in PIWIS
Your Porsche feels "looser" or less precise in spirited driving than it used to
You've heard about the "PADM problem" on Rennlist or 6SpeedOnline and suspect yours has it

These are all symptoms of the same root cause: the sensor inside the Porsche Active Drivetrain Mount has detached internally. The replacement below is engineered to permanently fix it.
Direct fit for OEM part numbers 001013 and 001023. Plug-and-play install — no special tools required, no PIWIS coding needed. The fault code clears automatically once the new sensor is fitted.
Compatible models: Porsche 911 (997 / 991 / 992), 718 / Cayman / Boxster (981 / 982), with active drivetrain mounts (option code I+M).

Forum reference: Rennlist — Why PADM engine mounts fail and how we fixed it with a reinforced sensor upgrade
Why the factory sensor fails
Inside the OEM mount, the sensor's measuring chip is simply glued in place. Over time, engine vibration and pressure from the magnetic fluid knock it loose. Once detached, the chip sends incorrect signals — triggering error codes, poor performance, and leaving owners stuck with repeat repairs.
Our solution — reinforced & calibrated
WAERBODE's upgraded PADM sensor is completely redesigned to eliminate the factory flaw:

  
Pin-mounted chip — no more glue. Mechanically secured for durability.
  
CNC-machined aluminum housing — built to withstand harsh engine-bay conditions.
  
OEM-compatible calibration — fully tested on Porsche models to ensure factory-level response.
  
Plug-and-play — no coding, no software, no hassle.

Unlike the original sensor, WAERBODE's version is built to endure real Porsche driving, whether daily use or spirited Sport Plus performance.
