Seat Altea Diesel Engine Mount Issue

My 2012 Seat Altea diesel is acting up. There's an error stored and she's idling rough. I suspect the engine mount. The workshop mentioned a possible defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone else experienced this motor mount issue?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar wobble with my Altea a while back. It was a faulty connection on one of the engine mounts. Check the wiring and plugs before you start ripping things apart.

Which mount was giving you grief? Was it obvious once you got in there?

It was the front right, if I remember correctly. It wasn't immediately obvious, but the plug was loose and corroded. It's worth getting a workshop to check it over properly just to be sure, especially if the rubber mount itself looks okay. Mount wear can cause similar symptoms and this could save you a lot of hassle and money.

Turned out to be exactly as you said, a dodgy connection. 95€ and she's purring like a kitten again.
