Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all Car is 2002 996 turbo (but I think it's the same in all 996 as far as the air con system is concerned), 120,000 miles. Previously the air con was losing coolant and the leak was found in the heat exchange (evaporator? not sure what it's called). So that was replaced and as well as the air circulation shutter and the rotting foam along the way. An expensive job. After all that is done and coolant refilled to 800-900 grams. The air con works fine but then it would stop working after 1 or 2 minutes (I think the compressor just stop engaging). This is set to Lo, the coldest setting. If you disengage the "cold" button for a few minutes and then re-engage the cold button, it works again, but only for a few minutes. And if you just let it blow (without cold air) for a while, it would some how turn on cold for a minute or so and then stop being cool again... The newly installed circulation shutter would only work intermittently also. The shop owner suspected the control panel, it was then replaced, but it wasn't the cause. Basically the same thing. He doesn't think it's the compressor however. Any advices from anyone? Appreciate it! Very frustrated, spent a lot of money and still not fixed... CW.

Get a better mechanic. This one is just throwing parts are it at your expense. All they need to do is start checking voltage at the compressor and work their way back. This is not rocket surgery!
