SteamWolf Posted 20September, 2013 Report Share Posted 20September, 2013 Stock 911 air con is garbage. Vents too small, rubbish condenser location and barrier hoses that leech out the refrigerant. There are retrofit solutions but they are pretty spendy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamWolf Posted 20September, 2013 Report Share Posted 20September, 2013 Yep! There is a decent ac system available but it is about $5k installed. Worth the money but $5k will buy many go fast things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydr Posted 21September, 2013 Report Share Posted 21September, 2013 Stock a/c weighs around 40kg if I remember rightly. That's a lot of unnecessary weight 'cos it never works anyway. Chuck it, open the window, enjoy the fresh air and listen to xorst instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiesdad Posted 30September, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 30September, 2013 A/C seems to work Before I picked it up the dealer agreed to send it to a Porsche service place in Eltham and get major 200,000km service done, reckoned would cost them $1500 Told them I was a repeat customer so do a good job. They did $4000 later it has new discs, callipers, hoses, struts, the list goes on and on, plus the service Only thing needing to be done are rear spring plate bushes For once in my life I had a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
