Hi all!
I am here in NYC and I have 2 911's, a 9974s and 88 Carrera. Both have their own issues.
I've had the 88 for about 2 years, and about a year ago had a full engine reseal and bunch of other stuff done.
Now, the one thing I haven't had time to tackle, is the heating/cooling system. This thing is too complex for me to figure out, and the local shops that I use shrug at the site of the car.
So I'll start with my highest concerns first, and go down the list from most important to least.
1. The heat comes from the driver side vents when driving. The lever in the middle is pulled into close position. I checked the little baffle under the car, and it is operational. When I open the red lever, I get a lot more heat through the vents, but when I close it, there is still heat coming. On the passenger side it's just outside breeze that comes in. Is there another baffle anywhere else? Any ideas?
2. The heater blower motor. I have no heat (besides the levers that just guide the hot air). I had a local shop give the motor power, and the motor works. So my first thought was that little relay in the engine compartment. So I went on eBay, found a guy that had a bunch of used ones (I think he has a race shop)... so he sent me one ($100 value), and it didn't work.. so he sent another, same story. So I already tried 6-7 of them, and none work. So even though they are used, I figured at least one of them would work. I then took out the passenger seat, and looked at the little box between the seats. I don't see anything out of place, but then again, I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but it looks fine. I also replaced the fuses in the footwell blowers. Could that little box be broken? Anything else I need to check? Any other fuses? Any ideas?
3. Fresh air blower... so it worked when I bought the car, but made a bad sound and sounded tired. Then one day it stopped working. I see a lot of different replacement parts for the fresh air system, but I'm not sure what I need to get this fixed.
I would appreciate the help with this, as I'm out of ideas, and no shops are near by. The one p shop I know, is an hour and a half away, requires $50 in tolls, +gas, plus I need to leave the car, so I would need to uber, which is $120 each way... anyway... I'm on my own here, and I'm not very skilled with this.
