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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, The high pressure air-conditioning pipe that runs over the engine is leaking on my 13 plate Cayman S. Has anyone had this replaced - can it be done without dropping the engine (I understand on this year Cayman the pipe has some flexibility unlike the previous ones)? Also, can anyone recommend a specialist around the Cambs area to do the work. I would normally use one in Hertfordshire but they are booked solid for the next few months and I would rather like the AC to be working over the summer..,. Many thanks.

On my MY13 Boxster S it needed the engine out. Twice. Once to diagnose, and then a second time to fit the part when it arrived.

POST 4Original post

Indeed. Luckily extended warranty picked it up. I did ask out of interest and was told £1500 or so!

POST 5Original post

Where is it leaking from? Is it possible that it's leaking from the valve in which case it may be possible to replace this separately?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It’s not that easy to see exactly where it is leaking from, but judging by the mess it’s above the lower join (with the pipe tap hay runs along the sills). I have now managed to get it booked in for a couple of weeks time so we will see how they get on…
