I am going to be removing my dash to recover it in the next few weeks and was wondering if there is something i could check to see why my AC is not blowing cold.

The AC is slightly cooler than ambiant but far from cool. The switch will turn on the compressor so I presume there is enough refrigerent (R134) in the system. I was wondering if there was a motor for one of the HVAC doors that may be at fault.

Early or late car?

have you attached a gauge to see exactly how much r134 is in the system? the amount needed to run the compressor and the optimal amount are not the same values.

I guess more spacifics would help haha my bad

It is a 1986 951

I havent checked the pressures...I will probably be doing that soon. My experiance is that normally there is still gas in the system when it wont turn on so I think there should be enough to drop the temperature a bit over ambiant...but this is the first time I have trouble shooted a P car

Was having an issue with mine. Was blowing cold and then starting getting weaker and weaker. Told it to a local Porsche place and the compressor was only putting out 100 psi out of 200. Changed out the compressor and nice and cold again.

Just an update to my post...the heater door clip was broken...easy fix! havent had time to test drive but I think that will be my problem.
