Advanced Technical Information All 1704 8 8700 Binder - Advanced Technical Information AC Small Leak Diagnosis Vehicle Type: All Model Year: All Symptom: No cold air from the A/C system. Diagnosis: Normal diagnosis reveals very little or no refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit. No leak can be found. Information: Very small leaks may not be found on a normal inspection. Extra effort to locate these leaks is required. Procedure: After determining that a leak cannot be found proceed as follows: • Add 1 ounce of oil with dye to the system • Evacuate the system • Recharge the system • Place a new, large, plastic garbage over each front radiator, covering it completely • Run the A/C system while watching the high side pressure - It will be necessary to run up the engine speed to about 2,000 rpm • When the high side pressure reaches 400 psi: - Reduce engine speed to idle - Monitor high side pressure - It the pressure drops, add enough throttle to hold the pressure at 390-400 psi for 3 minutes. - If it continues to rise, pull away a trash bag enough to keep the high side pressure at 390400 psi for 3 minutes. • After 3 minutes, remove the trash bags from in front of the radiators • Let the engine idle and the high side temperature resume normal levels around 200 psi • Shut off the engine (as long as engine coolant temp is normal) • Inspect for leaks • After the leak is identified, proceed with normal repair. • The Warranty Labor operations are given in the chart below. - “A” time will need to claimed for the time to put the trash bags over the radiator and bring the pressure up (Approximately 5-10 minutes) ©2017 Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
