Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Hi John, I have the RS mounts fitted (I think they are from the 964 RS?).

I need to replace engine mounts and after researching standard parts available I stumbled across semi-solid mounts.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all. I need to replace engine mounts and after researching standard parts available I stumbled across semi-solid mounts. Does anyone have any experience of these or any recommendations they can make? My car is strictly used on the road. Thanks, John.

POST 2Original post

Hi John, I swapped out my old and rather soft OEM ones for a pair of RSS ones from 911UK. The car feels a lot more positive, a little more vibration at tick over and engine noise though its not intrusive. Gear change feels a bit more positive so as far as I can see its a win win change. Changing the mounts took about 45 mins, the hardest bit was shifting the engine hanger nut, braker bar with a short scaffold tube fixed that. Hope this helps a bit in working out what to do next

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Mark, that's a great help.

POST 4Original post

Hi John, I have the RS mounts fitted (I think they are from the 964 RS?). Carnewal and others sell them as a kit for the 996 with bolts etc. Made a great difference but then my car was still on the originals and had over 90k miles on the clock. Genuine Porsche parts as well! I had them fitted as part of my annual service at Dove House - they just charged me 30 mins work!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely look into that.

POST 6Original post

The Targa needs a right hand mount as it's leaking, anyone fitted semi solid to a Targa? Concerned about the roof rattle if I go for non Targa OEM...
