(from my project thread)

So I decided to clean my ac condensors. I just assumed no one has ever bothered to, over its 13 year life. I printed this as a referance Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Front Bumper Removal - 986 / 987





The picture does NOT do justice how much crap and crud and pebbles and just thick and smelly mud.... I almost got sick it was so disgusting......



Clean again! I used a brush to get all of the main crud out and also, it's easier when it's dry.. Then power cleaner..

BTW: Is my left front one broke? Look at the bottom left corner, looks like the bottom row is coming off.. does this give any lack in efficiency at all?


Now...... the scariest discovery......... the right one is half covered in "cement" !! This has GOT to effect a lot, right??


So, I did this to avoid overheating, from what I read that can happen if they are clogged from filth over the years.

It was a fair DIY job, took 2.5 hrs at a friends house who handed me tools, collected screws and for motivation. Some plastic covers left and right underneith was gone..

All in all, a fun job
