Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
The AC workshop who changed it were very careful to flush the system and replace filters etc to make sure to get rid of any debrief.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi I drive a Boxster S 987.2 (2010), with the 9A1 engine, the 3.4L DFI. Earlier this year the AC compressor broke (Denso variable displacement compressor). The AC workshop who changed it were very careful to flush the system and replace filters etc to make sure to get rid of any debrief. In August, at a hot (30 deg C/ 90 deg F) Track Day, the compressor broke AGAIN. It's a manual car, and I guess my driving style is "inspired", i.e. I go to max rpm limit at every shift at Track Days. An I had the AC on at low temp all day. 1) Has anybody out there experienced similar AC compressor breakdowns on the 9A1 engine? If so, did you identify a root cause? 2) At the older M96 engine up to 2008, I know many people install underdrive crankshaft pulleys to slow down the AC compressor speed (and the power steering pump speed). But I find no such underdrive pulleys for the 9A1 engine (except RSS kit that eliminates the AC). Not needed, or not feasible for the 9A1? Any hints? BR/ Kent Smith (Sweden)
