Air conditioning condenser. Porsche 964 / 993  ›  99357301103

Air conditioning condenser by OE Match, this refrigerant heat exchanger is part of the cabin air-conditioning circuit, rather than an engine-cooling radiator.

What This Product Does

The condenser transfers refrigerant heat to the surrounding air, allowing pressurised vapour to become liquid. This heat-rejection stage enables the air-conditioning circuit to continue its cooling cycle. Moisture removal is handled by the separate receiver-drier, not by the condenser.

Functions

• Releases heat carried by the refrigerant.
• Changes refrigerant from vapour into liquid.
• Supports the refrigerant cycle used for cabin cooling.
  
  

Technical Details

• Product reference: 99357301101.
• Brand: OE Match.
• Component: air-conditioning condenser
  
  

Symptoms of Fault

• Vent air becoming progressively warmer despite selecting cooling.
• Oily traces on the condenser or around its connections.
• Corroded surfaces, damaged fins or restricted airflow.
• Refrigerant leakage identified during diagnostic checks.
  
  

These signs warrant investigation but do not establish that the condenser is responsible. Hoses, connections and other air-conditioning components can produce similar complaints.

Why Replacement Matters

A confirmed leak requires repair rather than repeated refrigerant top-ups. Renewing a leaking or deteriorated condenser addresses the damaged heat exchanger during air-conditioning repairs. Check adjoining pipes, seals and mountings at the same time, and assess receiver-drier renewal when opening the circuit. Refrigerant handling and subsequent system testing should be completed by an appropriately qualified technician.

FAQs

• Will a refrigerant recharge resolve weak cooling?
  Only if refrigerant quantity is the underlying issue. Recurring loss calls for leak diagnosis before another recharge.
• Does the receiver-drier need attention too?
  Yes. Review its replacement requirements when the refrigerant circuit is opened, particularly following a leak.
• Can cleaning avoid condenser replacement?
  Removing external debris can improve airflow, but it does not repair a leaking or extensively corroded core.
• What should be checked before fitting?
  Confirm the vehicle application and original reference, then inspect the connecting pipework, seals and supporting hardware.
