AC Problems

[tkberkeley]

I have a 2011 997.2 911CS2.* This year I have gone through 4 AC compressors and a condenser.* So far neither my regular mechanic, nor the folks at Hennessy Porsche in Alpharetta GA can figure out why the compressors keep failing.* Apparently the compressor is "spitting the clutch" and locking up.* Neither party can figure out why this is happening.* The new compressor will last for about 1 week then it fails.* Has anyone ever seen this issue?

Yup. When the first compressor failed, was the entire system flushed out to make sure any debris from the first failure was gone? Like junk in your oil pan, it only takes a chunk or two running around in the system to tear up the replacement components...……………..
