Suggestion

You could find a low mileage used one somewhere, but given the fact it will be a PITA to replace I would go for an OE supplier to Porsche $552 new one like this:

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

100+ degrees here all week in South Carolina, and of course my A/C died yesterday. Looks like the compressor is seized. I see quite a range of prices. Any recommendations? Luckily I have a back up vehicle!

POST 2Original post

I have got some good quality used items from these guys. No affiliation. Looks like they have a few. http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-Carrera-9...item3f40d20129

POST 3Original post

You could find a low mileage used one somewhere, but given the fact it will be a PITA to replace I would go for an OE supplier to Porsche $552 new one like this: http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=813-15 A new Porsche compressor is listed out for $1,867. If you DIY all you will need is to have an AC shop evacuate the system and charge it. Question: Seized in like it doesn't even move/spin? When you engage the AC and the electromagnetic clutch engages the belt just starts slipping across the pulley and burning up the belt? Wow, that is a bummer ($)!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think I'm going new. I've seen several places under $500 for new. OEM can be pricey, but not that much more. I have seen prices over $1,000 but see no reason to pay anywhere near that. Thanks!

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
