I was wondering, before I splash some cash, if someone can just confirm my shopping list, only one line leaking but will replace both, from the PET diagram attached I think i need:

Better spending your money on replacing the drier whilst it's degassed, they're only about £15 for an after-market one.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2002 996 Targa (RHD) Evening, I have sprung a leak in one of the air con pipes that runs down the offside (UK drivers side) of the car. Looks like many many miles of being peppered with stones has left its mark! I was wondering, before I splash some cash, if someone can just confirm my shopping list, only one line leaking but will replace both, from the PET diagram attached I think i need: 6 - intake pipe 10 - refridgerant line 19 - O ring x 2 + 2 extra for the next ones in the line either end 18 - O ring x 2 23 - combination screw x 4 Anything else I should replace whilst there? Appreciate the help - only want to do one order with Porsche so I can the work done quickly at my local garage and recharged again Regards Chris

POST 2Original post

age is also a factor due to the pipe's location, are you clear with the location of the leak ?

POST 3Original post

6 is the correct one. I wouldn't bother replacing the other one (10) as this seldom goes. The issue with this pipe is it attravcts a lot of moisture due to being the 'cold' line. Over time, this corrodes the aluminium and eventually starts to perforate it. Not the case with part 10. Better spending your money on replacing the drier whilst it's degassed, they're only about £15 for an after-market one.

Yes thank you, its had dye put in the system and really clear which one it is - no other leaks found I dont mind a few parts giving up with age, she is 22 years old and travelled 110k miles so to be expected!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you, the leak is only from 6 so i will cancel the order for pipe 10 and do the drier as you suggest, appreciate the sharing of your experience

POST 6Original post

Pipe no. 6 failing is quite a common fault once they're over 15 years old.

POST 7Original post

I know people have had problems splitting the joint between 6 and 25, so you may need 25 too, but see how it goes. O rings can be bought from places like polymax (you need HNBR material for AC). They have a minimum order of 20 or something, but it often works out cheaper than one or two from Porsche/D911.

POST 8Original post

6 is joined to 26. That's an engine out job to do 26 too.

POST 9Original post

Quotes source post: 2698805

You're right - I misread the number. If it's engine out, hopefully it won't be needed!

POST 10Original post

I dealt with that joint near O/S Rear wheel.... I won but was a tough one
