911sc air condition "smoking"?
Hi guys,
Today, I drove my beloved Betsy ('81 911sc) to the body shop to have the c2 kit installed. As is typically the case here in South Florida, I was sweating buckets inside the car and being that I had to head to he office right afterwards, I turn on the A/C...now, the interior is stripped for the most part for refurbishment, so the A/C knobs are not on the unit but I turned on the fan and thought I had everything going fine. However, it appeared that light smoke and a funny smell was emitting from the dash vents...I quickly turned the other "Knob"...or where the other knob would go, and it seemed to remedy the problem... could it be that I inadvertantly turned on the heat? That said, is an old porsche heater like some homes...meaning that it may be burning of dust etc since it has been unused for awhile? I just don't want it to be an issue and want to nip it before it becomes one. Otherwise, there has been no problem with the car whatsoever. Thanks, Rob

The a/c and heat are separate, so I doubt you accidentally turned on the heat.
My best guess is that the evaporator blower motor may have a problem.

Hmmm, that's great (lol) for a layman in mechanics, what does that mean? Is it something I can limp along with? Costly repair?

Was the unit blowing cold air? Was the unit blowing cold air after you turned the other knob? Could the light smoke be moisture condensing? You can see that on really humid days when cold air comes in contact with warm humid air (like when you open your freezer door)?

a/c issues
yeah, it was blowing as cold as it ever has (lol) comfortable lets say...it was an odd smell....somewhat electrical...I cant really place it but asll appeared fine after I turn ed the other switch/knob...like I said, the unti has none of the housing on it, just the two "spindle knobs...without knobs, laying on the floorboard...it was a humid morning having just rained and the S.F. sun was sucking it up.
Thanks for any insight! Rob
