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.

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

POST 1Original post

Twice now, the AC in my 2007 Cayman S has slowly warmed. At present, it puts out slightly cool air when warm outside. Many months ago, it was cold. Porsche repair shop checked it for leaks, nothing found, so recharged it, and all was fine. And now, it is back to being hardly cool. If no leak can be found, the system passes checks, what now? I welcome ideas. Phil

POST 2Original post

There's obviously a leak and they just haven't found it. AC systems don't require recharging unless there's a leak.

POST 3Original post

Agreed - take it back and see if the pressure has dropped. If so, there's a leak, and they should cover another recharge, ideally. That being said, they won't cover the repair itself... be sure to get that done because recharging alone doesn't fix the problem.

POST 4Original post

Fairly sure there's a dye they can introduce into the system for hard to find leaks.

POST 5Original post

There are dyes (usually UV activated), but to really track down a leak - nothing beats a "sniffer". If the leak is somewhere like the evaporator core in the HVAC box, the dye isn't going to be of much value. Harbor Freight has a cheap sniffer, I have one, can't say if it actually is useful since I haven't had a leak (yet) for it to detect. The "Pro" ones are typically in the several-hundred dollar range - at that point it may be less expensive to take it to a shop with a sniffer rather than buying your own.

POST 6Original post

I have moved since the last time the AC was recharged and it isn't really practical for me to take the car back to the shop that did that work. Also, it has been quite a long time (one or two years...I am not sure), since the AC was recharged. I am not sure the old shop would consider this new leak as one they might have missed earlier. Need to find a good Porsche shop in my area of northern Nevada.
