My cars had a wee! Any aircon specialist in w Yorkshire

[Captain Barnacle]

Hi,

My 996 turbo started smoking from behind the Front drivers wheel arch and a fluorescent green liquid started dripping on the floor? I see that there are two pipes there, and it seems to be coming from the clamp under the drivers seat.

After searching the Internet, I believe these are the aircon pipes, so can anyone recommend a good air con specialist, or should I just take to a independent Porsche garage and let them sort?

Thanks in advance

While not being an expert in aircon, I beleive that under pressure the gas in the system is liquid,once released to the atmosphere it will dissipate as a gas.

A green liquid sounds more like coolant loss.

^^^^^^^^
What he said. I thought that but wasn't confident enough to say.

But try contacting Porscheuro on here. He does gassing and I suppose the rest is just nuts and bolts.

Sounds like you want to park it up until you know what's leaking.

Thanks for the comments,

I have been out in the car today and now confident it was the dye leaking out of the aircon system with the gas, as now dry and no issues with cooling etc. So just keeping aircon switched off and will take to garage soon.

Pretty much everywhere you read says that the coolant is bright green.

If the pipes run from the boot to the bonnet and back then they may still show an ok temperature but be litres down.

The aircon pipes also run front to rear and past the jacking points, often being damaged by not being careful with the jacks.

The coolant in this car is pinkish, as it is in VWs.
