Hi all,

I have a 1995 960 wagon and it is becoming the time of year when air conditioning is becoming mandatory. I have the issue where under low (high?) vacuum conditions like when accelerating my ac stops working until the vacuum stabilizes after getting up to speed. I have learned to live with it but as my ac gets older and weaker I am wondering if the cause of this is as simple as certain venting doors not staying closed thereby allowing external air to come in instead of air conditioned air. I have a vague understanding of what happens when my AC temporarily stops working on acceleration and am wondering if there is any way to attack this problem gonzo style and permanently close (open?) these vent doors and prevent this from happening.

Is it possible to intentionally shut down the vent doors that allow outside air in? If so would this address this vacuum related problem? This car has alot of miles left on it and I would hate to not keep it because of Air Conditioning.

Thanks very much,
Jim Lee
