I have that problem, but only on a warm humid day with the top down. After about 30 minutes condensation builds up on the air ducts and drips when I hit a bump or take a hard turn.

I have the same problem and thought about the DIY can, how many cans will fill the 996?. My local air con guy says its a bad idea because when im filling the system its putting new gas onto old gas without cleaning the system out first which will have bacteria etc.

An air con charge here in the UK is around $100 in US currency whereas the refill can is hugely cheaper but i don't want to do this and it be a waste of money.

My system is cold to a degree but not chilled so i have assumed it needs gas.

Thanks

My car blows warm air. I recharged the ac but it's still warm.

Not sure if the compressor is kicking in or not. How do i check if the compressor is coming on or not. Does the compressor had a fuse?

Trying to figure it out myself without taking it in. No warrantee and I don't want to spend 5-900 on ac repairs.

Anything I should be looking for???

When the car is running look at the compressor, if you hear a click and the center of the pulley area is spinning then it is locking/cycling. If not then could be a mechanical issue or could be so low on gas that it won't cycle the compressor. If wre mine I'd try the DIY kit b4 bringing to anybody. Better to gamble with $30 or so.

What DYI kit?

I tried the $25 recharge can. That didn't solve it.

Was the compressor locking up, if the freon is too low compressor won't engage and even if you have a can on it,if it doesn't engage it won't be able to draw in the gas.

I guess I'll have to go out to the garage and see if the compressor is kicking in. Hold on.

I believe the compressor is working. Not sure tho. When I hit the ac button the engine has a draw on it and the idle goes down. When I turn the switch off the idle goes up.

I have to assume that's the compressor kicking in...yes?

Ericginpa

Sounds like the compressor is working. When you added the can the car drew in all the gas? And did it make any difference in how cold it blows?

Mine was low and my compressor DID run all the time. I recharge kit from the local AP fixed me up.. Second season now, still nice and cold

norcoastal

There is still some left in the can. It didn't draw it in all the way. Is that an indication of something?

fast996

what does the pressure gauge say when you try filling it?

norcoastal

It was a cheap can from the NAPA store. It didn't have a gauge.

Ericginpa

Was there any improvement at all?

norcoastal

None
