Default Common 968 A/C leak points?

Gettin ready to fix the A/C, 1992 968, 116Kmi.

Are there any common leak points on this car?

I have the drier, gauges, vacuum pump, and I will be replacing the compressor (just because), going from R-12 to R-143A. I have a slow leak, takes about 3 days to leak down...That's what I remember from last year...

Any good deals on compressors? So far I'm looking at $350+.

Thanks,

Search this forum for writeups. Lots of great writeups on the AC's. Search using the term expansion valve that might get you a little closer.

r143?

The ones I've seen include the compressor front seal, high-pressure hose and expansion valve. Have fun.

Take a look at this post, for a picture of where my compressor leaked. (You may have to register to view the thread)

The common leak we get here in this area is either the hoses on the crompressor itself, or a leaking front compressor seal.

[QUOTE=Porsche-O-Phile]r143?

:-) Opps, R-134A.

Wonder how many Porsche Callaways are left?

I worked w/ Reeves in the early 70's @ a P+Audi dealership in Niantic, Conn. I remember his Turbo experiment on a 914/6, pre-BMW's. The good old days... :-)
