I think it was replaced around 3 years ago but it's a good insurance policy for couple of hundred that it costs!
Leading evidence: 'Replace i think it' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Suspected cause
The PO either had really tall speed bumps in his daily drive or more likely the elevation between the driveway and street was too great.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey all,
Quick question, dealership is dropping my engine for some work. My engine carrier bracket has some scrapes on the bottom edge from the previous owner. Is it an engine drop activity to replace this bracket or can it be done with the engine in the car?
Wondering if I should have them replace it while the engine is out or at a later date?
Tried to search but didnt come up with anything solid
This is the bracket im referring to (this isn't my engine):
Thanks!
is it damaged [going to fail] or looks scraped ? it is not like it is highly visible. i can imagine the amount of scrapes the engine has from sitting in the driveway asphalt......i would have thought putting it on a tarp/plywood ......dolly that is in the back ground
Its just got a few scrapes on the bottom, btw thats not my engine was just one I saw on ebay with the bracket attached
agreed, they should put something under it!!
If you want to replace it the time to do it is while the motor is out otherwise access to some of the nuts shown in the pic will be very tough not to mention you'll have to support the motor while doing so. The threads on the motor mounts might be problematic too.
Those scrapes are common. The PO either had really tall speed bumps in his daily drive or more likely the elevation between the driveway and street was too great. If the scales.wre superficial, leave it one. But if you want to change it later, it can be done in the car with a little elbow grease.
Thanks guys, it's all superficial but ideally I'd like to replace it at this point but finding a good used one will be tricky in a short time frame (i'm in Australia). Knowing it can be swapped later is what I wanted to hear
at least if I don't find one right away I know I can do it later with the engine still in, thanks!
Anyone replaced theirs?
This pretty much explains the whole engine carrier bracket. Yes, you can replace it while the engine is in the car and supported while you remove the bolts and bottom nuts from the engine mounts. For $175, if you want pristine, just get a new one.

I just had mine replaced by local Indy, I backed up and hit a curb, ripped off skid plate and rolled lip on bottom of carrier.
The motor was not pulled out, ecs sells for About $170, factory Porsche
Unfortunately if it's $170 for you guys it will be around $275-300+ from what I have seen because im in Australia
ill go used I think the dealership bill is getting quite big already...
- new clutch
- new coolant reservoir
- y starter cable
- trans flush
- slave cylinder
- other minor misc parts
good to hear you replaced yours NYoutftr thought it was only me that couldn't stand the sight of the damaged bottom lip!
Haha, CEF mode number 3,451?
"Help my engine carrier bracket caused a CEF"?
I guess if it didnt support then engine properly it could do some pretty bad damage!
