Not a bad video

Why didn't you just removed the rear bumper cover?

Looks like it would have given you that much more room and less fear of beating it up removing components.

Interesting. Thanks for posting. These are really tight working quarters. This is when you want either the factory warranty or CPO.

Hey, that car was a cabriolet. Who needs AC!

-5 right now in Chicago. No AC needed. Will be about -18 next week. Dang.

Is it really common on the 991? Great video BTW. Might come in handy in the future!

In all fairness and respect to the stout & robust 991...about the only "common" repair on our cars is the crazy COVs. Let's hope it stays that way in the years/miles to come. When I saw this thread this AM, I was fully expecting to stone impact damage being the cause to the evap./condes. in the front bumper.

I agree with you, the video will prove helpful to others in the future, probably to other things besides this specific repair.....like the serp belt and throttle body cleaning, just to mention a few.

Good point. Its all down to preference. I can confidently do the job without removing it and causing damage.

As far as A/C leaks go, yes. In my personal experience.
Thanks for watching. More to come.

I can’t access video - says not available on YouTube. Possible to update or send video? I have an AC leak and would love to see video to help self-diagnose if possible.

Thanks,
Kevin
