Right now I have your attention, can anyone please shed some light on the following prob with our S60 T5 2001...
Our air con hasnt been working properly and we had major probs with car overheating.. Anyway took the car to Volvo and found out that there is a recall out on the whole fan unit (the one that sits just behind the grill). They replaced it all and there were no more probs with it over heating.
But, the air con is still not working, mate plugged his laptop in and and it came up with a fault with the air cooling sensor, I THINK, im a typical women and cant quite remember.
Basically what happens with the air con is it intially comes on for about 6min then goes warm. I spend my whole time turning it on and off, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. I CAN hear the compressor click in, but not sure all the time cos i cant check whilst driving along obviously!!
So got a guy round and got it regassed thinking it was that.. nope, I watched him drain it and then refill it, he added a flourecent dye so that we could spot any leaks there are none.
So.. took it back to Volvo they reckon they have done diagnostic.. but they cant be sure of the faults thats brought up because you can get them from going over a bump in the road. They say they have cleared them and will check it when we come in for next service??????? What???? And I have to pay them £65 an hour for them to tell me they cant trust the diagnostic readings... OH and by the way THEY reckon its the compressor and they will fit us a new one for £700 + VAT????? Can anyone please offer any advice, what pob may be? Are Volvo trying to con us?
Pretty please help, im not going to pick it up until you guys have shared your knowledge with me ha ha ha !!
