why does my Porsche 911 992 (2019-Present) AC blow warm air

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts.
• Disconnect the vehicle's battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, manifold gauge set, basic hand tools (sockets, wrenches), vacuum pump, refrigerant refill kit.

2. Check and Recharge Refrigerant

• Connect the manifold gauge set to the AC service ports (high and low side).
  • Sub-step: Ensure the vehicle is off, then attach the blue hose to the low-pressure port and the red hose to the high-pressure port.
• Start the vehicle and turn the AC to maximum cooling.
  • Sub-step: Observe the pressure readings; if low, proceed to recharge.
• Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the system to remove any moisture and contaminants.
  • Sub-step: Run the vacuum pump for at least 30 minutes.
• Recharge the system with the appropriate type and amount of refrigerant as specified in the owner's manual.
  • Sub-step: Monitor the pressure gauges to ensure proper levels are reached.

3. Inspect and Replace Components (if necessary)

• If the AC compressor is not engaging, check the electrical connections and fuses related to the compressor.
  • Sub-step: Repair or replace any damaged wiring or blown fuses.
• If the compressor is faulty, remove it from the system.
  • Sub-step: Disconnect the refrigerant lines and electrical connectors, then unbolt and remove the compressor.
• Install the new compressor and reconnect all lines and connectors.
  • Sub-step: Torque the bolts to the manufacturer's specifications.

4. System Test

• After repairs, reconnect the battery.
• Start the engine and turn on the AC system to observe the cooling performance.
• Monitor for any unusual noises or leaks.
