A/C cooling is weak and gradually loses performance

Q: What are the symptoms of A/C cooling is weak and gradually loses performance in Porsche Macan (95B)?

Weak cabin cooling. Problem appears while driving. No blowing from vents. Frost or ice on pipes under the hood

Q: How to fix A/C cooling is weak and gradually loses performance in Porsche Macan (95B)?

Replacing the damaged evaporator temperature sensor with a new, functional element (part 8K0-820-539). Access to the sensor requires removal of the passenger glove box and passenger lower knee airbag. After replacement, update the HVAC software using the PIWIS program in accordance with the recommendations of TSB #ATI-2225.1. A temporary solution when driving on a long route in the event of icing is to completely turn off the compressor (A/C Off button) and leave the strong airflow on for about 5-10 minutes - this will melt the ice and restore the air flow.
