F Type Engine Mount Issues Causing Rough Idle Problems

Having dealt with a similar mounting issue on my 2019 F Pace with the same engine configuration, I can share my experience. The symptoms you describe match what I encountered, particularly the rough idle which pointed to a failed mount on the transmission side. After noticing unusual vibrations, I took it to a workshop where they discovered a cable connection issue related to the mounting bracket sensors. It turned out the motor mount itself was fine, but the wiring connection had worked loose over time, triggering error codes and causing erratic readings. The repair was straightforward, they reseated and secured the connections properly, which cost 95€ including diagnostic time. The vibration issues completely disappeared after fixing the defective engine mount wiring. The whole process took about 2 hours. To provide more specific guidance for your case, could you share: Which engine variant you have, The exact error code showing up, Whether the vibration is more noticeable at specific RPMs, If there are any unusual sounds accompanying the vibration These details would help determine if your issue matches what I experienced or if you might be dealing with an actual transmission mount failure rather than just a connection problem.

Last service was done at 65000 KM with full inspection and no mounting issues were detected at that time. The engine variant is the 2.0L i4 300PS. Error code showing as P0327. Vibrations are most noticeable around 800-1000 RPM at idle, accompanied by a subtle knocking sound from the passenger side mounting area. The transmission mount seems particularly susceptible to these vibration issues when the engine is cold. In my case, the symptoms seem more severe than just a loose connection, suggesting a potential mount failure rather than a wiring issue. Really hoping it wont require replacing all mounting brackets, as that could get expensive.

Thanks for providing those additional details. Having gone through mount-related issues with my F Pace, the symptoms you describe, especially the knocking sound and cold-start vibrations, point to a different problem than what I experienced. The P0327 code combined with the location of the noise strongly suggests you are dealing with an actual defective engine mount rather than the wiring issue I had. The rubber mount on the passenger side commonly deteriorates, particularly with that engine configuration. In my subsequent maintenance, I learned these transmission mount problems often progress from minor vibrations to more serious issues if left unaddressed. While my issue was resolved with just wiring fixes, your symptoms indicate actual mount failure requiring replacement. The good news is that replacing just the affected mounting bracket rather than the entire set is often sufficient. Based on recent repair costs, you should expect around 400€-600€ for parts and labor if only the passenger side mount needs replacement. A quick test you can perform: Have someone observe the engine movement while carefully transitioning from idle to light acceleration. Excessive movement would confirm mount failure rather than a sensor issue like I had.

I appreciate all the detailed feedback. After performing the suggested engine movement test with a we observed significant movement on the passenger side, confirming the rubber mount has likely failed. The symptoms match perfectly with what was described, especially regarding the cold-start vibrations and mount wear progression. Given that my mounting bracket issues seem more severe than a simple wiring problem, I will schedule a repair soon. The estimated cost of 400€-600€ for replacing the failed mount is actually lower than I feared. Definitely better than waiting until additional engine mounts fail and require replacement. The knock and vibration pattern occurring specifically at 800-1000 RPM clearly points to a mounting issue rather than a sensor problem. Good to understand the common failure points for this engine configuration. Will have the workshop focus on the passenger side engine mount first, since that appears to be the main trouble spot. Thanks for helping diagnose between a wiring issue versus actual mount failure. This saved me from pursuing the wrong repair path.
