Hi Guys,

Well I never intended sorting my aircon out until I removed my front bumper to fix the headlight washers, the condenser was completely rotten, so I though whilst I'm here I'll remove & replace, ordered a replacement condenser from ECP Hella, both the old & new don't match up.
The new condenser has two connections for the air con pipes at the bottom, my old one has one connection at the bottom/ One at the top, so having spoken to aircon specialists they seem to think that a non genuine replacement has been fitted in the past, the problem I have is that the cooling fan cannot be attached to the new condenser, due to no holes being present to screw into unlike the old one..

Do I just delete the system purely for cost purposes....
What to do???????

Further to my last post, can anyone confirm if there is a fan that sits in front of the air con rad ie - two separate fans, one for the rad/ one for the air con radiator..

Ta

No I don’t think there is

When the air con button is pushed it switches the main cooling fans on, so no I don’t think there is

Plus there is no third fan shown in PET the parts system

Waylander, thanks for your input, so what is the standard fit, just one fan for both the coolant & air con rad??

Think air con cars had two fans, but I’m not an expert on 944’s

Air con cars have twin fans that run on high and low speed depending on engine temp and if air con on or off.

Well the saga continues, I've again checked with Porsche concerning the air con radiator, there was no upgrade on the condenser design........ Where my has come from who knows...
I only have a single fan on my radiator & a single on my condenser..
Just spoke with a breakers yard in the states, who star that I should have a twin fan assembly Any further advice guys, or do you think I should just delete the system for the hassle it's causing?

Thanks

Sounds like it’s been retro fitted

Agree. From what I can work out the normal twin rad fans were used with additional over ride from the ccu. If you want to bin it I'm sure there would be plenty of takers or you could source the correct parts from a breaker (but good luck with that) My S2 has the wiring loom for a/c but would need an a/c ccu plus pump ,pulleys etc.
