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

Solution

1. Preparation

• Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on the AC system.
• Gather necessary tools and parts.

2. Recover Refrigerant

• Use an AC recovery machine to safely recover the refrigerant from the system.
• Ensure compliance with local regulations regarding refrigerant disposal.

3. Inspect and Replace Components

• AC Compressor:

  • Remove the drive belt and detach the AC compressor from its mounting.
  • Inspect the compressor for any signs of failure (e.g., leaks, unusual wear).
  • If faulty, replace it with a new unit, ensuring correct alignment during reinstallation.

• Condenser:

  • Remove any obstructions to the condenser.
  • Inspect for physical damage; replace if necessary.

• Cabin Air Filter:

  • Locate and remove the cabin air filter housing.
  • Replace the old filter with a new one to ensure proper airflow.

4. Recharge the AC System

• Use the manifold gauge set to fill the system with the correct type and amount of refrigerant (Porsche 911 typically uses R-134a or R-1234yf, check specifications).
• Monitor pressures to ensure they are within the manufacturer’s specified range.

5. Test the System

• Reconnect the battery and start the vehicle.
• Turn on the AC to check for cooling performance.
• Monitor for any abnormal noises or leaks during operation.
