New a/c condensers

[drmark]

Just had 2 new condensers (both originals were damaged), new drier and re-gas for £350 all in by a/c engineer. Knows his Porsches and very particular. Took around 3 hours.
No connection other than satisfied customer.

Plus I got to clean out, check and corrosion "proof" the bases / frames of the rads, which, fortunately, were in great nick given the huge volume of crud in there. Cooling must be working better now too.
My car is 2008 997 by the way. But parts and costs identical to Boxster / Cayman AfAIK

Does he travel to J31 (M1 South Sheffield)
Not that mine needs doing but its certainly worthy of note when the inevitable happens.
Mind you I do need a new coolant rad as I can smell anti-freeze but amazingly the coolant hasn't dropped in a year of ownership.

I think Justyn limits himself to 25 miles from Derby but am sure there must be others offering similar deals. He does a lot of Porsches though. My Indy wanted £600 for the job. OPC was North of £1k - and I couldn't get involved checking all the bits while the PU etc was off.

And with relatively basic tools (biggest "issue" is jacking up front as high as possible) it's an easy DIY to swap them out, only needing re-gassing. Don't forget your O-rings...

No jacking required. And no need to take front wheels off if you have done a few. As I learned
