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

I looked at a Cayman today that had a problem with the air-conditioning, basically it wasn’t working. Does anyone know the approximate cost (best bad worst case) to resolve this - guess it could be condensers X pipes etc? I did notice a faint radiator smell when I got out the car after having driven in it. I’m just wondering if this is the air-conditioning radiator and also the engine radiator breaking down and needing replacement perhaps? I think I read somewhere one is located behind the other? Thanks

I went the DIY route a two months ago (x-over was fine), it's an easy job. This was on a 2010 987.2. Aircon repair kit - £265 2 x Air Con Radiators NRF Brand 4 x Rubber O-rings for radiators 1 x Desicator 2 x Rubber O-rings for dessicator OEM o-rings - approx £20 Pressure test to confirm leak location - £90 Regass - £60 Total - £435 It wouldn't put me off a purchase but I'd expect a discount.
