Does anyone know of a decent place to have my SD air con serviced near Dundee, Scotland? Virtually no cold air blowing at all but for a car of this quality it really should not be needing topped up already. (43000 miles). My air con is on all the time because that can help the seals to last as long as possible.

Take it to ATS, two in Dundee, and dependant on which refrigerant its either “R134A” pre 2017 at £60 or R1234YF at £130. Not sure when Porsche switched to new gas type, if before 2017? If yours is not working they will check for any leaks as part of the re-gas, although could be something else? Had the same problem with a 2017 Lotus at two years, just re-gassed to correct pressure and no problem since. Could also use Halfords if closer, both much cheaper than OPC. If the problem is deeper then consider Porsche or specialist alternative 👍

Well my air con playing up today. Slightly cooler than when a/c off, but far from cold. Just found this discount at ATS

Condensers are so exposed, a small boy could be dragged into the intake....

Thanks guys. I have now booked in for an ATS Euromaster recharge. Using the above mentioned Groupon voucher the recharge total cost is £35.99 including VAT. The gas for my 2015 SD is R134a.

That’s a great deal, hopefully will sort it with no further work required 👍
