(Had originally put this as a reply elsewhere but it was in the wrong place)
Help!
I have got a 1997 S70 on which the aircon has not been working since I bought it a few weeks ago, so I took it into a local garage last week to be re-gassed. The garage re-gassed the system (it was low apparently) and still the aircon wouldn't kick-in, they checked the system itself by (I think) shorting across two connections on a lead that goes into the ECU and it works. They sent the ECU off to have it tested and there is apparently a fault on the low pressure (?) side that controls the aircon, although the diagnostics place couldn't be sure!? Getting a bit worried about the old pound notes now.
Oh, to top it all off the guys at the garage have all buggered off on holiday today for a fortnight and have given me the car back with aircon and no real answer as to what the problem is!
Anybody had anything like this happen before? All help gratefully received.
Matt.
