[GH85Carrera]

The center dashboard vent temps with the system on MAX high fan is 40 degree air and a lot of it. It gets uncomfortably cold after 10 minutes blowing on my face. I would not want it any colder. I need to dig out my IR thermometer and read the evaporator temp. The entire accumulator will get cold enough to be covered in condensation while it is sitting in the engine compartment in 15 minutes of drive time. It blew ice cold air last weekend on a 100 mile trip down the highway at 75 MPH. Without my new fan while sitting at a long red light the vent temps go up rapidly.

The fan clutch will go into lockup if I wait at the light for long. I was careful with the oil and the pressures when I replaced the last compressor. The systems is great except at idle. It really has been that way for 22 years.

I remember the day I bought it I took it for a test drive. I loved the AC since at that time I had a non AC 914. I left it running and popped the hood to watch it idle and see what it would do. The engine got warm since it had the stock 2 core radiator. The AC was blowing much warmer. A quick drive down the street and it was back to cold. The only instruments at the time was the speedo and fuel gauge. I replaced that with the factory gauge package back in the 90s sometime.

I have replaced the fan clutch at least twice over the years. There is not much on the vehicle I have not worked on over the years.

I will talk to the AC shop and see what they have for a T connection for the liquid line. I will have to get motivated to want to R&R the system to get the pressure switch in place. That might wait until the next time the compressor dies.
