V70 T5 SE 1998 - Climate control not blowing that cool and occasionally burning/strong smell on star

Bob Martin 8 May 2005 20:11:23
 My Volvo V70T5 SE 1998 climate control doesn't seem to blow that cold
anymore.

It's coolish but thats all. the lights aren't flashing as described in the
manual if theres are fault.

Any ideas? low on refrigerant perhaps? buggered compressor (I hope not!!)

thanks for any help offered

You might have the all-too-common evaporator failure which is also
all-too-expensive to repair.

You could try a refrigerant refill first.

 Could also be as simple as a pipe or hose, that's all it was last year with
our 960 (we thought it was the expensive evaporator as well)... cost with a
mere (for an A/C fix $350 with labour and parts and diagnostic)... Now that
part only held for last summer and now something else is leaking - but
that's what you get for a 12 year old car....

To the original poster... A/Cs don't just get low on refrigerant...
something has to leak it out, they are a sealed system. Fixing your problem
could be as cheap as around $100-150 to get a leak stopping agent and a
refill (get the UV dye put in to see where it's leaking - you'll have to
re-visit the dealer/mechanic after 2 weeks for them to check it) or much
much more money.... We've put in around $800 into our 960's A/C system over
the years - it's easy to see why many 10 year old cars don't have a working
A/C anymore, we're keeping ours going because driving with the windows down
is hell when you're on the highway and our Volvo is our long distance trip
car - A/C is definately needed.
