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

It's early summer in Houston and the AC in my Box is marginal. At 85 F ambient the low side is 40 psi and the high side is 225 psi. Add R134A and the low side goes to 50 and the high side goes to 230. I plan to replace the compressor, dryer, and expansion valve. The condensers are cleaned out and the belt is new. Does anyone have the low and high side numbers? Any tips or tricks on getting it running in top shape? Houston is about a mile from the sun in mid summer so marginal AC is not an option.

Both air condition system pressures are dependent upon the ambient temperature. You need to locate the correct table Porsche published for your year and model to determine where you need to be.
