Like arter said a couple of posts ago... If you feel it warming up again on a long trip, just switch to recirculation mode before it freezes up completely and it should dry the coils back out after a while.
Okay, yeah, I think it is freezing up. The east coast has been a hot stew all summer long. Thanks all for the tips.
I guess this was a common issue on the Macan. A service advisory went out on them to advise customers that they should turn on the A/C on "recirculating". I was told it was fixed in later models. This was the first case that had been reported to them on the 911, but they noted that most don't take their cars on long trips.
Ran into this for the first time with my '14 991 this weekend. Driving four hours in 92 degrees and high humidity kept nice and cool driving into the sun. Coming home the next day with sun behind me in same conditions, a/c was cool, but not cold. My back was sweating on the seat. I noticed that the center vent on top of the instrument panel was blowing warmer, especially the right side. Yesterday, it seemed to work better. Today, back to being so so. Tried coming out of auto mode, turning it on and off, disabling the center vent, going re-circulate, etc. Going to call it in for an appointment under CPO. I had a changeover valve replaced about 18 months ago when heat stopped working.
Just got back. Freon was low. They serviced it and I am back to ice cold air! It's the little things.

Never mind, I went to got the AC pro, followed the instructions and aircon is cold again. It was really low. The picture show where I had a few pumped into the line before I remember I need to take a picture to share

Whats the process to fill? Fill till you reach a certain temp out of the vents?
My also is a 14, doing exact same thing, hot air on passenger side, did they tell you why is low?
Is it possible to add Freon by yourself?
My '18 991.2 lost cooling on the passenger side a couple of years ago. Took it to the dealer. Low on coolant (Freon??). They topped off coolant and all was well...for a couple of months. The same problem returned. Dealer kept it for a day looking for leaks. No luck. Topped off again. All was well for a couple of months, then the same problem returned. Back to the dealer. This time they kept it for a couple of days. They finally located the leak. It was the Schrader valve where you introduce the coolant into the system. Replaced the part, purged the system and refilled coolant. Two years later...still blowing COLD.
Moral of the story: If you're running low on coolant, you have a leak. Just refilling will only delay the inevitable...finding and fixing the leak.

good point, Let me observed my issue, hoping the material they said will seal it self in the pipe.
I rarely drive my 911.1 and whenever I do, I don't turn it on, so, I believed if you don't use it, you lose it theory....
