Help, Radiators AC condensers

Hi Guy's, Went into the garage to fire up and bring my C4S out of winter hibernation for the summer to discover a damp patch on the garage floor..... took the front bumper off to inspect and the n/s radiator is leaking!! (when does the spending stop!?) Anyway I am going to replace - Both radiators LT thermostat AC condensers and dryer (while I'm in there) I'm looking to buy these parts but it looks/feels like a bit of a mine field out there on ebay etc. (I only want to do this once!) I know there are lots of threads on this subject but would like to know where to buy and what makes/retailers to avoid. So if someone has done these jobs recently I would appreciate any info on where to buy please. cheers. :thumb: :thumb:

Does anyone know if 996 C2/4 and C4S radiators and condensers are the same? cheers.

C4S rads and condensors are different from C2 .. https://www.deroure.com/diagrams.asp?MAK=3&MDL=25&TBL=2529&SMA=&SMO=0&ST=&SC=0

Thanks deMort, Are C4 and C4s the same? most aftermarket sites are listing that they are all the same!!?? Has anyone fitted Rads to a C4S recently? if so can you tell me where you purchased them. thanks.:thumb:

C4S is different to C2/4 .. that link shows 3 options and one is 911 Anniversary Edition only ... either way you get part numbers to check . Try ECP or at least get a price from them .. we use them a fair bit at work .

thanks deMort I am going to replace both sides LH/RH and the condensers while I'm in there. I'll try ECP tomorrow as they are only listing one for all on line....and quite expensive!! Do you know if ECP will they use these part numbers?? :thumb:

Wow the 4S is pricey compared to the narrow cars. My usual place wants £630 inc vat and postage for lh & rh rads and condensers. I didn't look at dryer. That's for pattern parts though. Bought mine from there and they're fine. I don't know how the above compares with elsewhere but this is the place anyway. https://www.adrad.co.uk/car-radiator/catalogue.php?manu=PORSCHE&model=911&engine=&year= PS. It also mentions a centre one but I nothing about that as my car doesn't have one.

:thumb: Thanks Marky911, I give them a call too :thumb:

Try CarParts4Less. They are the sister company of Euro and list the same items but at lower prices. OEM parts are made be Hella Behr.

The dryers are about £15 on ebay for a genuine Hella one. Its just a simple desiccant filter after all. I just paid £41 each side posted for the condensers (pattern obviously) and bought the seals from Porsche for another £20 or so just to make sure they are a perfect fit.

reply Evening I think carparts for less do a discount code at the weekends so maybe worth looking online. deMort you seem to know everything about everything when it Porsche talk, hats off to you I know where to go when I have a question about my C4s. PDCC4S.

Re: reply The downside of doing it for a living :wink: Im no parts guy though .. but it does help knowing what you are looking for .. part lists for Porsche are a pain to understand at times .
