964 Air conditioning overhauled last year with a new genuine evaporator fitted.
Ten months later fine particles Aluminium in colour blowing out of A/C vent.
The finish on evaporator is failing to my surprise.
Has anyone else had this problem?
 
I had exactly the same problem. It was made worse because the drain pipes were blocked so I think the evaporator was exposed to a lot of water until I unblocked them. My evaporator was made by Mahle. I have heard that they had a bad batch with a problem with the anodizing. The replacement ( not Mahle) has been so far after nearly 2 years. Not a fun job replacing it but breathing in aluminum oxide particles is not a good idea

What brand did you replace it with? I am thinking CSF as an alternative, as apparently Genuine Porsche evaporator do not have protective coating.
