Air Con Pressure Pipe, LHD. Porsche 986 Boxster / 996 1998-05

Air Con Pressure Pipe, LHD.
Restore the high‐pressure side of your Porsche’s A/C system with this genuine OEM pressure line. Designed for vehicles such as the Porsche 911 (996-series) and Boxster (986), this precision-engineered pipe replaces the factory hose/pipe that carries refrigerant under high pressure from the compressor to the condenser.
For Left Hand Drive Cars ONLY!

What This Product Does:

• As a high-pressure / pressure line, it carries refrigerant under high pressure from the A/C compressor to the condenser or from the condenser onward in the refrigeration cycle.
• It must withstand elevated pressures (hundreds of psi depending on system), high temperatures, thermal cycling, vibration, and hold a leak-tight seal under service conditions.
• A correct pressure line ensures the A/C system maintains proper pressures (both high side and low side), operates efficiently, delivers cold air and prevents refrigerant loss.
• If this line is compromised (leak, collapse, corrosion) the A/C system may lose refrigerant, pressure drop, reduced cooling or fail to function.

Symptoms Of Wear, Damage Or Need For Replacement:

• A/C cooling performance drops sharply — e.g., the system does not achieve low cabin temperatures, or takes much longer than expected. A leak in the high-pressure side is a common culprit.
  
• Visible damage to the line — cracks, corrosion, brittleness, fractured fittings, or evidence of oil or refrigerant residue around the pipe or its fittings (oil stain often indicates refrigerant leak).
  
• Hiss or bubbling noise near the A/C piping/hoses, particularly after the compressor runs, as refrigerant escapes.
  
• Low refrigerant charge or repeated recharging required — if you find the system needs frequent top-ups, the pressure line might be leaking.
  
• On inspection — The hose or rigid pipe section is degraded, the O-rings at the fittings are worn, or the mounting clips/brackets are missing, causing undue movement/vibration.

Why Replacement Matters:

• System efficiency & comfort: A faulty high-pressure line compromises the A/C system, reducing cooling comfort, increasing cabin temperature and putting strain on the compressor.
  
• Preventing further damage: Leaks in this line allow ingress or egress of refrigerant and lubricant, risking damage to the compressor, condenser, drier, or causing contamination. Replacing a damaged line is much cheaper than replacing major A/C components.
  
• Maintains system integrity: Using the correct Porsche-specified line ensures correct fit, correct diameter, correct pressure rating and correct routing — generic hoses may not meet the high-pressure or corrosion-resistance requirements.
  
• Safety & environmental responsibility: Refrigerants are under high pressure and treatment of leaks is a regulatory / environmental issue; ensuring the line is sound prevents uncontrolled release.
