They replaced the old Serpentine system with a parallel flow system.

Suggestion
So you would advise having the compressor refurbished AND to replace the serpentine condenser with a parallel condenser.
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.

predominantly from a 944S2.
Some are new genuine parts, unopened & still in original packaging from either Porsche Centre Brisbane, Pelican Parts, Paragon or similar OEM resellers etc. Many of the used parts are in excellent condition & some are "normal" condition used parts I have acquired over the last 4 years.
Happy to provide further info or photos by PM, email or text to interested inquirers. Can definitely post parts to you for better than standard Auspost rates.
I will supply photos of parts & part numbers so you can see what you are getting on request.
Located Brisbane, Northside.

OK thanks I suppose my only question would be would any of these suit drivers side. Would also probably look at renewing the passenger side if they didn't match.
PS What area of Brisbane are you in.
Thanks, sorry for the belated reply. On another matter you wouldn't know of a source for a Denso Nippon A/C compressor for a 1986 944 Turbo. The one in the car is leaking from the seal and I have been told that that compressor would have to be rebuilt as you can't get new compressor to fit this car. This is from a Porsche independent specialist.
Sorry, no knowledge on source. I had Buchanan's in Sydney refurbish my AC system. They replaced the old Serpentine system with a parallel flow system. AC was perfect after that. Worth the money I think. You could ring Buchanan's- they are generous with their knowledge and time.
I had this done as a much larger body of work by Buchanan's. I live in Brisbane so AC was important to me. I think the AC was more than 1k but less than 2k.
To be honest I don't. I had real trouble trying to find decent service from the Indy's here in Brisbane for my 944. If I still owned it I'd take it back to Buchanan's for any major work.
Not sure if you're still looking for an AC compressor or AC specialist but I went through this process on my old 944 S2.
This was the new Denso compressor I ordered for my S2. Pricing was very competitive at the time and lifetime warranty on the part via FCP Euro. Obviously exchange rates will play a part. -

I used a Porsche specialist at Alexandra Hills to refurb my system. It came at the recommendation of Don at DHM Auto. I'm not sure if he's still operating but I'm happy to give you his phone number to make an enquiry.
