944S2 air con on strike

[thom]

Good evening people
My car has got some troubles with its air con: I suspect the gas has leaked away
Does anyone has an idea on how I could locate the hole(s?)?
Did anyone have similar troubles with his/her air con?
Thank you

I think you just need to regas. My air con was empty and is fine afterwards - I think it gradually escapes (probably past old seals etc) rather than there being a hole. They probably replace these seals when they regas - I was surprised at the 'parts bill' for regassing - not expensive so much as having lots of little grommets and stuff.

I did it already but it only worked for 2 weeks last summer (Summer in Alsace was pretty hot and forced me to drive roof removed).
It was working perfectly but from one day to the other there was just no more cold coming out the vents

I'm in the same boat. There's some interesting kits around for LHD models in the US like this:

But I'm not sure if that'll work on my RHD S2. So few had it that finding used parts will be borderline impossible.
