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.

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 have a small leak in one of the two front condensers on the 2003 996Turbo. It holds gas but won't take the pressure of a full 900+grams re-charge. To buy a couple of OEM condensers in Australia is very costly. My indy suggests Hella/BEHR as a quality alternative. Can I ask about any good sources for these condensers (or others similar) in Australia?

POST 2Original post

Try Mr Cool Air Conditioning at Black Street, Milton. A mate had either the evaporator or condenser replaced by them. I am sure they would sell just the parts if required.

POST 3Original post

Will follow with interest, my ac needs work. It was regassed when I got the car in December and worked fine through spring but has not come on since the warmer weather arrived again. I was going to get a new compressor anyway since the one on there was noisy, but I may also have a leak somewhere else. I have found I can source a Denso 7SB16C (which I understand to be the original fitment) for $565. My OPC will kindly supply the same thing in a Porsche box for $3113.

😂 😂 😂 😂 same OPC wanted 2700 for alternator including fitment

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have called Mr Cool and they do have some. Thanks for that. Also a 'trade price' for my local indy to get from them. He is trying to find the Hella/BEHR ones if possible as they are the better quality, he advises. Autohaus Hamilton have them for $290 each (JP Group) condensers. There are several available in theUK for less than AU$100 but of dubious quality. Any experience with these or with (Danish) Nissens?
