Air-conditioner in the 993

I am thinking of buying a 96' or 97' 993, one of my major concern is the air conditioner must be working very well and reliable as I am from the a very humid and hot country. Any ideas, pleaseee?

The air in mine went over the winter. Apparently there is a recall with something in the A/C, haven't gotten it checked out yet.

It works just like any modern car. I used mine in 100deg weather for a weekend with no issues at all.

I will have to get mine checked out. Bought the car in December and have only tried the AC recently,..........it doesn't blow any cold air at all.

I had a great PPI done when I bought the car and the AC checked out so maybe it is something minor. This is my first Porsche, but I have never had hopes of great AC in it,.......this thread gives me hope.

Most likely it just needs to be recharged. Mine had the same issue.

my 96 blows very cold. charged with R-6, our 08 sienna has R-34, not as cold. I live near the beach though, so usually I just open windows.
