Hey guys, I haven't posted on here in years (only put about 70 miles on my car last year because of business and no a/c) but am in need of a good a/c repair person in Houston. The a/c compressor is turning but no cool air. As you can see the car sits a lot, which I intend to change if I can get the a/c fixed. Thanks for any help.

Hello,

I am in Houston & recently used Mike Callas at Rennsport in Sealy to fix mine. Was not cheap but he knows what he is doing and I would recommend him

Hope this helps

Thanks Spec, have heard many good things about Mike, just wish he wasn't so far (we live near downtown). A friend of mine that is a mechanic said that Eurocar just hired a guy he knows named Jose that is a very meticulous Porsche guy. I might see what kind of diagnosis he comes up with.

Joel, spec
About time I see some RL 993's owners from Houston here...

Spec1976

Yeah he is far away, I stay on the SE side so was even further for me.

Would appreciate if you can let us know if this new guy is any good

dp2boy

Hey guys, yes it's refreshing to know that there are still some 993 guys left in the area. When the weather cools down some we should all get together somewhere !
Spec, I'll probably let Jose take a look at my car in the next couple of weeks. I'll let you know what I think.

Cool, check out the PCA LSR website and it will tell you where we meet every sat at different locations

Sounds like a plan, even with fully operational AC in Houston it is still hot. I just actually joined PCA a couple of weeks ago so will definitely try to get to some events at some point soon.
Would be good to catch up with some fellow 993 owners are I have not seen many on the road down here

Here another new 993 guy in H-town , DP2boy , your AC pressure is probably low from sitting.

Hey Wunderbar, welcome. I was hoping that was the problem (sitting too long) but I've got a set of gauges and everthing is OK on psi. I drove it a while today and it seems like the compressor has now quit engaging........grrrrrrrrrrr.

There is a DE Sep 15/16 that you should consider (signup open Aug 15 at 12PM and you need to register within the first 1-2 minutes to secure a spot in the beginner run group). If you are not ready to participate, just come up and have a look. There are parade laps at 12PM on both days which are great for you to have a couple of laps with a pace car on the track. I promise that you will participate in October

If the compressors quits (and ran before), it is likely low or high pressure on the switch. You need to find the root cause. If you are into DIY, there is a great post on AC trouble shooting.

An easy way to get a base line would be to have the system evacuated and recharged. Every AC shop should be able to do this for ~ 100 USD. Just tell them that they need to fill in ~840g freon.
