924S Ac smells like Antifreeze.

1987 924S
Ac blows cold. Alot of time ( 30% ) it smells like Antifreeze.

Heater core leaking ? Any other things this could be?

Can a radiator stop leak help / hurt ?

Thanks,

Austin

Do not put any type of stop leak in the cooling system.

It would only be a temporary fix and may increase chances for a major repair.

It is probably either the heater core or the 2 rubber hoses to the heater core.

Before you start------Check the heater control valve in the engine compartment. If you see any white deposit on the valve replace. It will ruin the clutch disc. Cover the TDC hole in the bell housing to avoid a nut falling in the clutch.

The hoses cannot be replaced without taking out the heater core. Not the best Porsche design.

Here is a DIY on changing the heater core from tech SolReaver:
