- Hey All,
In this episode we find the problem with the Porsche 997 Aircon. Once we find the issue, we have to work out how to remove the bumper and then replace the faulty parts.
Remember, everything I do, you can do too. Success is closer when you take the first step. Keep wrenching.

Beautiful colour the car!
Great video. I have the same job to do these days. One thing you should have done before putting the bumper back was: Install a grid/mesh to prevent more crap comming in the new condensors in the future.
Yeah, the mesh is a great idea and I have to take the bumper off when it goes into the paint shop, so I'll take the opportunity to do that. Thanks for the comment.
My mechanics cautioned me against installing the mesh, " Our tests have shown that the mesh inserts can increase engine temperatures by 10-15 ° F.". I fabricated a nozzle for my shop vacuum that I can snake in there, in between seasonal cleanings. Also a shot of Boesheild T-9 to help prevent corrosion....but, I do worry about stone damage. (I've pulled some BIG pieces of gravel out of there.)
@@chrismicallef1276 Exactly the same procedure i use, works perfectly, my 997 its only a summer car so condensers and rads are still original
This video was really helpful in me undertaking the same job. It would have been more helpful if I could have seen where you placed the axle stands and I didn't see you disconnect the wiring loom, but it became fairly obvious. The hardest part I found was disconnecting the headlamp washer hose, it was a real nightmare. I wish I had taken a photo of the bumper fit before removing as I am in the process of removing it again to see if I can approve the fit.
Liked the nitrogen purge & vacuum creation step Pete. Clearly missed that in sorting my BMW and I’m betting it’s why the results haven’t lasted!
great vid mate! you've given me the confidence to do mine!
Great vid thanks for posting, I bet that you were pretty annoyed fitting the condenser's and then finding that you forgot their plastic shrouds, we've all been there 😲
When a system is open to the atmosphere, it is customary to replace the filter dryer.
Great video! Please could you share the link of the part you ordered to change these? I assume yours is also a 997.1 c2. Thanks again!
Great video! I have the same on a 997.1 4S. Would please share where you’ve got the parts from?

Very informative thanks. Roughly how ling did the entire job take?
It was about 4 hours all in.
How much refrigerant does it need? And where does the oil go for the compressor?
The system capacity is 850 grams (30 oz) of R134. In addition, the compressor needs a synthetic lubricant for proper operation. If you're filling a completely empty system, add 195 ml (6.6 ounces) of ND 8 refrigerant oil.
