Seat Ateca Diesel Engine Mount Issue

I'm seeking expertise regarding an issue I've encountered with my 2023 Seat Ateca diesel. The vehicle has 195233 km. I've observed the engine idling unevenly, accompanied by a stored error code indicative of a potentially failed mount. My assessment suggests a potential defect within the engine mount assembly, specifically concerning the integrity of the cable or plug connection. Could this be the source of vibration issues? The anticipated repair cost is approximately 95€.

I also drive a Seat Ateca and had similar vibration issues and a defective engine warning. It turned out to be related to one of the engine mounts. These rubber mount components can be sensitive. Have you checked the cable and plug connections to the mount itself? It's a common point of failure.

Thank you for the quick response! When you say check the cable and plug connections, are you referring to the sensor that's sometimes integrated into the engine mount itself? I wasn't aware the rubber mount had a sensor. If so, how did you determine that was the source of the mount failure?

Yes, there's often a sensor there. Mine threw the error code and caused vibration issues at idle. I'd recommend a visit to the workshop if you aren't comfortable checking the connections yourself. They can pinpoint the issue accurately.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It proved invaluable. I inspected the engine mount and, sure enough, the plug wasn't fully seated. After securing the connection, the error disappeared, and the idling is now smooth. The vibration issues seem to have completely vanished. I'm glad it was such a simple fix, saving me a potential 95€ expense. Thanks again!
