Default No A/C AGAIN.....2nd UPDATE

So took delivery on Wednesday and have gotten to 150 miles and this car is crazy, I am still stunned that I have one.

We had a spectacular weather today with the temp hitting 70 and it was getting toasty in the car and I realized the A/C is not working! Just blowing warm air!

I will take in on Monday to get diagnosed.

Disappointed every so slightly!

UPDATE:

So I got the car back today with nice cold A/C. Turns out there was hardly any refrigerant (freon) in the systerm!! Leak checks were performed and all is well. So a nice easy fix.

How it failed a bunch of quality control checks before it got it me? Who knows.

2nd UPDATE:

Well same problem AGAIN today. So back in the shop. This sucks!!

Light off means A/C on.

Just want to make sure.

Lots if gremlins with these GT3's.

Haven't heard of no a/c yet.

What Marcus said....

Turn down the temp control and press the Auto button; if still no cold air then you have a problem.

Arggg...that's frustrating to say the least.

I thought someone else posted no AC, but thought maybe his detailer/installer had disconnected a wire or something...wonder if that ever got resolved or is same issue.

Let us know for sure.

It's simply giving you the retro feel of the old Porsches. My 993's was never dependable.

Probably one of the first things you tested, but if not, check the fuses.

Left Footwall
Row A #1 40 amp
Row B #8 7.5 amp
Row D #6 5 amp

Right Footwall
Row B #2 25 amp

I think that's it, may have missed one though.

Did you forget to specify for the free AC option?









Just kidding. You probably got the AC delete option.




Sorry, kidding again. Hope it gets sorted easily and quickly.
