  • Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
  • Hi Everyone, While I was working on the Convertible top latch motor repair I noticed some “extra” noise from the Climate Control Unit (CCU HVAC) in our 1995 Porsche 993 Cabriolet. It is actually a super easy repair and in this video I walk you through all the steps. When you get done your little fan will be quiet as a church mouse 😊
    Tools and parts:
    • Four small Philips screwdrivers
    • Normal size Phillips screwdriver
    • 7mm nut driver
    • Wheel bearing grease

    Hey Franny I know you guys have dumped the Germans for boat life but thought you’d be interested to know the following: Years ago I bookmarked this video. Every time I climb into my 993 & hear that irritating whining sound from the fan I promise myself I am going to come back to your video. A couple of months ago my local mechanic told me it was time to replace the climate control unit & quoted $1800 for parts & labor. I politely declined.
    This afternoon I watched your video again, drove down to my local hardware store, spent $20 bucks on grease & four tiny star screwdrivers, then followed your instructions. It took me all of 45 mins from start to finish to have the little fan greased and silent again.
    In a finger-snap my car sounds like it did 20 years ago again.
    Thank you so much!

    Excellent "how-to"! My 21 year old 993 turbo desperately needed this. I watched the video twice and took on the job this morning. 45 minutes, start to finish. Wunderbar! I didn't have short enough screwdrivers to unlock the latches. 2" finishing nails worked great. Size 16D, I think -- the thickest possible. I needed an 8mm nut driver, not 7mm. I encountered lots of accumulated dirt/grime and removed it with brake cleaner and q-tips. I'd recommend stuffing a rag underneath the unit and into the hole when removing it to prevent any marring (I struggled a little to remove the hinged wiring connectors).
    Love your videos! Thanks so much.

    • @HeidiandFranny
      @HeidiandFranny  5 лет назад

      Thanks Lance for the added info! Very helpful. The nails are a good trick! You might need to do it again in a couple years, but it goes pretty quickly. Great! Glad it worked out!

    • @LanceKeigwin
      @LanceKeigwin 5 лет назад +1

      Lasted 9 months. Need to do it again. What's your take on this aftermarket replacement? I see the note about "an OBD Interior Sensor fan fault code due to the much lower current consumption of this fan. This fault code can be ignored and does not affect the operation of the unit nor the fan." Will that get in the way at smog-check time (I can't imagine it would but want assurance). Will the error code but outwardly apparent (displayed on a gauge)?

    Great vid! I just did this. The only trouble was getting my hand up behind the unit to push it out. It is very tight but after repeated efforts I was able to move it. I used four little torx drivers (no. 5-8) to insert into the holes to release the unit. removed the fan without disconnecting the hinged cable connectors. Lubed with graphite and it works great. Thanks for the DIY! It's a big savings over buying a new unit.

    With winter coming you gotta have some heat! Another fine job! I like that you have a nice clean, well lit bench to work on. I hate a messy, dimly lit workbench. When owned by 1977 Targa I would take the Targa top off on sunny cold days here in California, roll the windows up, and crank up the heat with the air coming out in the foot well area. It kept me warm enough even though it was cold out. Well, California cold is not really that cold, but cold enough just the same. Anyway, that made for a real nice ride when the sun was out on a dry day!

    I wish I would have seen this a few weeks ago when I had this pull to remove my lower dash. Not squeaking now, but would have been good to address it while I had it out. Could have also save me a trip to the store for the removal as I have those exactly screw drivers handy too.

    I would refrain from using wheel bearing grease as the scent can be pretty strong and the fan will help broadcast it into the cabin. Would prefer Lithium or Silicone grease.

      Ohh,... I did that a couple years ago on Shamu. The blower motors in the kick panels? The ones Porsche Classic want's like $450 a piece for? Check out AutohausAZ. They have a replacement motor that you will have to rework the connector at the top slightly, but you can get two shipped for like $120. Search their site for: 0130007081. I tried to re-grease the original motors over and over and never had any luck. Replacing them was much more successful. I was thinking I would pull on to talk about what I did for it.

    Hi Heidi & Franny.. We just purchased a 1991 964 Cab. Same issue regarding the convertible top light staying illuminated after the top is closed. The right latch is a bit funky and does make that grinding noise. Hopefully the replacement of that latch motor or me possibly rebuilding it as you did in your fantastic video will heal the issue. I do have the owner's manual, but not clear if that light stays on all the time when the top is down, and only goes off when the top is safely latched closed. The other gremlins I need to figure out are the seat belt, airbag and spoiler lights are also staying on. Hopefully I can figure those out too.

    • @HeidiandFranny
      @HeidiandFranny  3 года назад

      Congrats on the new car! Yup, all the lights should go out. It was a new thing for Porsche to have all warning lights in one spot so you can quickly glance to see if anything is illuminated. If so, then investigate. On the 3.2s you have to scan around a bit. Sounds like your top latch motor needs a little love 💕 F

    You can also use a thin gauge metal hanger to remove that unit. cut 2 lengths about 10 inches long and then bend them into the shape of a U that somewhat matches the distance of the holes. Push the U shape tools into the holes, slightly pull the tools away from each other and pull towards you... instant out! :) Hope that helps!

    Conheci seu canal pelo Tonella, que é seu fã.
    Parabéns pelo trabalho e saiba que já existe um bom número de pessoas no Brasil que curtem carros antigos.

    Great fix! I remember those Blaupunkt tools from a radio my dad had in his Mercedes. Speaking of radios, I don't recognise the Porsche radio. I wonder if this was a US item only. Most 993's I come across here have a Becker unit.

      Happy to hear the car is pretty original :)
      I just ran through the Porsche option codes and I think the radio in your 993 is actually a Becker CR-1 unit, which had option code 331. I was confused as it looks more like a Blaupunkt unit without the holes in the corners, but it says Porsche on the little door in the cassette slot.
      Where I live in the Netherlands I'm pretty sure a radio was optional equipment back then. If you wanted a radio-cassette they'd install a Becker CR-210, which has a much different look to it. That would have been option code 329. Mystery solved!

    never heard squeaking from my 993 climate control. is this something that should be done every couple years as preventative maintenance? also i have noticed there is a bit of 'play' with the fan speed dial, when you jiggle it, it affects the fan speed. Is this a precursor to a short? -thank you & great to see #993Porsche posts!

      When you turn on the key (before starting) you'll hear a soft rumble or maybe a squeal. It is a tiny little motor so it isn't that loud, but if it seizes the temp control will get all confused...

    • @HeidiandFranny
      @HeidiandFranny  3 года назад +1

      Well, depends... If the condenser is turning in the engine compartment, but the air is not cool, you probably have a leak and are low on refrigerant. If the system is low then you'll need to repair the leak before recharging or it will just go flat again.

      Hi, I have cleaned up the sensor fan (lost one small bolt...). Now the sensor fan (glued) is silent and blows 👍, but no a/c cool air is blown in the cabin, amid I do see hot air to the windscreen (condensation).

    Great videos, Franny! P.S. I have noticed that halfway thru several I’ve watched, the audio gets slightly out of sync with the video. I’ve read a few fixes for this that you may want to research.

    • @HeidiandFranny
      @HeidiandFranny  6 лет назад

      Thanks for that. I went back and looked at the original and it is completely in sync. In the last bit the audio was recorded by the camera so it should be solid. That is strange that you are seeing that. I watch an unrelated taking head video yesterday about Instagram and his voice got a bit off too. I thought that was odd, especially for that type of video. Hmmm... I'll have to look into this a bit. Did you watch it on a PC or mobile? Thanks for the head's up! Franny

      Heidi and Franny's Garage I watch your videos on an Apple iPad Pro on my home wireless network. It’s interesting that the issue occurs halfway (or more) thru the video, so I’m assuming it’s due to something taking place during the editing. Your video content, the video quality, and the sound are all excellent, so the issue could be with a codec in your editing program i.e. Final Cut, etc.

    Hi ladies! I’ve been told in a Porsche forum that doing this operation could fix the issue of my 964 air conditioning (it doesn’t make any cold actually), but I don’t see how greasing this fan could help. How do you see it?
    By the way, though the switch illuminates and the fuse is OK, my rear window defrosting system doesn’t work either...any idea?
    Thank you so much and congrats from a Spanish fan!
    Cheers

    • @HeidiandFranny
      @HeidiandFranny  6 лет назад +1

      Hi Santiago, that little fan usually is squeaking and running slow, or maybe not at all. Its purpose is to blow air through the unit so it has a good idea what the cabin temperature is. Otherwise, the thermostat can get confused. My guess is that your AC system either has a leak or needs refilling (because of a leak). Ours is R143a which we can get a recharge kit at the local auto parts store for about $30. For the rear defroster, turn it on and check for 12V at the two terminals on the window element. If you have power, then the element is probably broken. If not, then there is probably a break in the line between the window and the controller. Franny
