Motor Mount

[SWFLHOMES]

I have a really bad drivers side motor mount. Is this a job I should take on myself? Does anyone have pictures or a diagram as to where they are located? Should I replace both?

Thanks!

I have never replaced a mount on a Cayenne. May I ask how you determined it to be failed?

The only problem I know of is with the upper shock member

If I open the hood, put the car in drive, hold the brake, give it some gas you then see the drivers side of the engine lift 3 to 4 inches and roll towards the passenger side. I also feel a shift of weight like a movement if I take off too hard (so I am taking it easy). Is it a DIY job?

I would take a look in to the upper engine mount first (bank 1 cylinder head), they are well known to fail.

Are you talking about the upper mount on the passanger side?

I think RFM is referring to the limiting mount attached to the cylinder head on the passenger side.

indeed, this is what i meant.
