Turns out one o' mine has a circular (about 3-4 inch diameter) damp patch on it. Does it need replacing or can it wait? I don't think I've ever used the aircon, and I'm not likely to, so maybe I can just forget it? Ta! ['06 Boxster 987.1, 2.7] |

Not using it will kill it any way. Doesn't yours have climate control? It won't cause any problems but if you leave it & the pump dies then the recommisioning costs will be high. You may not want it but the next buyer may well do. Mine was always on Auto all year round. |

Generally speaking with air-con it's a case of 'use it or lose it', hence it's always on, on my own cars. Especially useful this time of year for de-humidifying properties. As Jim says, leaky condensers aren't an issue per se, but if your pump dies you could be into a hefty bill to re-commission. If you're into the car long term and don't use the air-con it's no biggie. |

Ta Jim / Rich - reckon I'll find the best quote (had '£368 for both' so far), cheers. |
