When should you replace this part?

An air conditioning condenser can leak due to age, corrosion, stone chips, or damage. Because the condenser is located at the front of the car, it is exposed to dirt, moisture, and small stones while driving.

Possible symptoms are:

• The air conditioning no longer cools properly.

• The air conditioning system loses R12 refrigerant.

• The system does not hold pressure.

• A pressure test shows leakage at the condenser.

• Oily traces are visible around the condenser.

• The fins or connections are corroded.

• The condenser is bent or damaged.

• The air conditioning must be refilled regularly.

A poorly functioning air conditioning system can have other causes. Therefore, also check the compressor, air dryer, hoses, connections, and expansion valve.

Installation information.

The air conditioning condenser is mounted at the front of the Porsche 928, in front of the engine radiator.

The R12 air conditioning system must be professionally evacuated before disassembly. Refrigerant must not be released into the atmosphere.

After installation, the system must:

• Check for leaks.

• Must be vacuumed.

• Fill with the correct amount of R12 and suitable compressor oil.

• Check for proper operation and system pressure.

Pay attention to the following during installation:

• Avoid damaging the fine cooling fins.

• Use new and suitable O-rings.

• Check the connection surfaces for corrosion and damage.

• Check the old hoses for cracks, drying out, and leaks.

• Check the clamps and mounting points.

• Do not install dry O-rings.
