Bought the car 3 months ago A/C did not work
Fitted new Condensors and Drier (Easy job just remove the PU (Bumper) and remove the old Condensors (Genuine parts about 80.00 from Euro) make sure you have new seals (4) and soak them in PAG oil (LOts of PAG oil around joints)
THen the drier which is under the right hand cover by the Battery (Again new seals and PAG oil)
Get it charged up (Price gone through the roof recently)

After a good run the Passenger carpet was flowing in WATER.
So had to look under the front of the nearside carpet (RHD)
I think that you just need to pull the carpet back but remove the little cover by the door frame
Ease the carpet back from the outside of the inner car in front of the door - there are two plastic nuts which you can remove
5 Plastic nuts under the Glove Compartment (987.1 Boxster)
And pull the carpet back
There is a clear plastic tube running from under the heater matrix on the right hand side of the bulkhead.
It runs down the right hand side to the front of the tunnel


Could also be a blocked hole but this looks less likely

The pipe had come out of the rubber connection to the heater matrix really strange wonder how that had happened
A/C did not work when I bought the car (3 months ago) so could have been like it for ages

Put it all back together AFTER DRYING IT ALL OUT)
