Dermot Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 I am starting to put together a shopping list to change out the drier and condensers on my 2012 Boxster. I would welcome someone checking I have it all correct and it can serve as a useful future resource. OEM 991 573 111 02 DRIER CODE: 94457314301/1 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/mahle-original/15288270 OEM 944 573 143 01 MAHLE CONDENSER CODE: 99757391102 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/mahle-original/15285952?gshp=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw0a-SBhBkEiwApljU0pcW7nODPokOiorEMPdo621sjsjNI9ZHJL-DHMW5VZjsi26aqKmAKBoCYdEQAvD_BwE PAG46 oil (190ml) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/mahle-original/15288086 O-rings for condenser 999 707 557 41 (need 2 per condenser ) O-rings for drier 999 707 660 40 (need 2 for drier ?)

ov40 Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 I am looking at doing the same job next month, that is a great price for the condensers, as the best price I have seen is £125. The codes I have is 99157311102 and 99157311106. Watching with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMA Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Afraid I cant assist on the parts list but this is a location I have bookmarked for replacement condensers in case I need any. Not used them so no feedback but the price seems good at £67 each https://www.autoairconparts.co.uk/condenser-aircon-radiator-porsche-boxster-3-4-petrol-apr-2012-to-2021-part-16-1446.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ov40 Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 I have looked at replies from other people who have completed this job, they all say to have the old fluid removed. I have spoken to local Kwik Fit and ATS, they both said they don't remove the fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted April 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I foolishly ordered the drier and PAG46 oil from Autodoc. I did not realise they are German based, ordered last Tues and has still not come so my weekend job did not happen. I tried to get a thimble of AC Condenser oil over the weekend from Kwik Fit and ATS to al least do the condensers, it was like I was speaking a foreign language, totally unhelpful.

I usually use a light smear of silicon grease on the o-rings. Helps the whole lot go together easily and I've never had a leak. In fact, the grease actually acts as a compressed seal in itself.

Dermot Posted May 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Anyone know the torque setting for condenser and drier connections. Holiday job ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
