Minke Posted 24June Report Share Posted 24June Hi Everyone, I've taken delivery on a 996.2 C2 and as part of the PPI there were notes about foam in the vents. I've subsequently completely further research and now understand where that is coming from and that long term (if not alreadyfor me) the blend doors that are meant to keep hot air out of the cabin when you're controlling the temprature are swiss cheese and no longer do what it says on the tin Has anyone had their mechanic deal with this? what sort of labour costs are involved? any recommendations in Sydney?

cafe_racer Posted 24June Report Share Posted 24June I watched a few YouTube videos and was going to do this myself going in via the frunk. I’ve yet to find the time or the urge though. TwoHeadsTas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve yet to find the time or the urge though. I don't have a garage to tackle this. One thing I've been confused about. There's videos that say 'you just go via the frunk' and there's other videos that suggest there's two diverters. One only accessable via the PCM/HVAC controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim45 Posted 25June Report Share Posted 25June I have the same issue - been watching YouTube clips and going to remove dash trim and give the plug install a go from inside the car. Seen these used: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256107690533 Instructions: Looks pretty straight forward tbh. Not affiliated with either link. Jim.

Minke Posted 26June Author Report Share Posted 26June Thanks - I've found a few videos now and I was coming to the conclusion that access to both blend doors was only available via the cabin (what this video shows). In fact this is the only video that clearly shows both blend doors and spells that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewM Posted 5July Report Share Posted 5July I don't know whether the effort to close up the holes is even worth it, or at least not in Australia. Is the issue that the car is too hot because of the holes? Or is it too cold? I haven't had a problem running air in summer, or heating in winter, even with some % of the foam gone. Having said that, I do live in Sydney so the temperatures are not too extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
