The AC condenser was replaced as part of the recent repairs and it’s blowing nice and cold when in use.

I’ve just had all the pipework at the front of the car replaced so I’m just gaining confidence in that repair.

I had this on my 987 Boxster, would leave a small pool of water just behind o/s front wheel - turned out to be a split a/c pipe.

Suggestion

If it's recently had pipework replaced then keep an eye on the coolant levels for the first few hundred miles since air locks are possible

Suggestion

If you want to allow more efficent running of the system then put it into the setting where it just recirculates the air in the cabin, this actually make the air coming from the vents cooler as it's not drawing warm air from outside

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

Hi All I’ve noticed a small pool of water under my Boxster, it’s coming out just behind the front wheels. It’s got no smell so I’m assuming it’s just water. I’ve just had all the pipework at the front of the car replaced so I’m just gaining confidence in that repair. Does anyone have any ideas what it might be and whether it needs attention. Thanks.

POST 3Original post

It will be the drain from the A/C, nothing to worry about.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Scrump said: Is the aircon running? Ventilation was on but in its eco mode. The AC condenser was replaced as part of the recent repairs and it’s blowing nice and cold when in use.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

POST 6Original post

Even in eco mode it will still leave some water behind. If you want to allow more efficent running of the system then put it into the setting where it just recirculates the air in the cabin, this actually make the air coming from the vents cooler as it's not drawing warm air from outside EDIT to add that the Porsche coolant is a pinky colour, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If it's recently had pipework replaced then keep an eye on the coolant levels for the first few hundred miles since air locks are possible

POST 7Original post

Our 987 used to leave massive pools of water at this time of year. It’s just the air con. As long as it’s clear and just plain old water.
