Hi,
This is by first post but been a stalker for about a year , I have a 57reg cayman s. I have done a search and a lot of information as been useful but there is also conflicting views and some info has been for different porsche models.
Couple of weeks ago I reaslised the a/c was working so took it to be regassed but it wouldn't hold pressure, so there was leak and the garage didn't charge me.
I suspected the condensers as the area was full of rubbished. Strip down and one was wet on both sides and the other was corroded and damaged.
Replaced and refilled but still not cold. This time charged but only 50%.
I have looked at the compressor and the centre clutch mechanisam isn't rotating.
Does it take a longer time to pump/fill the system after a repair ? If so maybe the refill isnt enough.
The fans behind front rads only come on when temperature is over 80c I have read that the fans should be on and running slowly if the a/c is switched on, is this correct?
Would the fans actually stop the a/c from being cold and the compressor running?
Checked the fuse, all good. Only removed and cleaned the a/c relay as I do not have a spare.
Trying to worked out where to check now and how.
Any suggestions would be great.
Cheers
