Re: 2006 V70 134A Freon Charge Amount


The Nissens is probably good at $75.
According to FCPEuro, it is made in China.

Valeo is OEM, but it is $200.
Next time do the whole thing yourself and save $.
Autozone etc. rents the vacuum pump for free.


I have the equipment to do it myself, I have the knowledge and skills to do it myself ...

Re: 2006 V70 134A Freon Charge Amount

AC Update

Found the Condenser to hold a vacuum but leak under pressure. I ordered a new Nissen Condenser from FCPEuro and had it installed. All of the source material told the shop to put 2.2pounds of 134A in as a charge. They did and the system operated fine with a 40* Delta between ambient air ...

Re: 2006 V70 2.5T Brake Pressure Switch and AC Pressure Switch Faults

Does anyone know what the range in resistance the Brake Position Switch is supposed to read through its length of travel?

I need to troubleshoot the switch and wiring/connectors before I throw parts at it.

Thanks

Re: 2006 V70 2.5T Brake Pressure Switch and AC Pressure Switch Faults

Jimmy,

I had one code that showed Brake Pressure Switch which I cleared and hasn’t come back. Now I’m showing a code for Brake Position. I’m thinking the Brake Position Switch is the fault preventing the Cruise Control to engage. The strange part for me understand (I don’t have a wiring diagram so ...

Re: 2006 V70 2.5T Brake Pressure Switch and AC Pressure Switch Faults

Found that the AC Condenser has a small leak that only shows up when the system is pressurized. It holds a vacuum no problem.

I ordered a Nissen Condenser.

Re: 2006 V70 134A Freon Charge Amount

Here is an update.

The system held vacuum fine so the AC Shop filled the system with 1.54 pounds of 134A and the system functioned perfectly except a small leak was detected in the condenser. So they evacuated the system and now a search for the best condenser begins as a replacement that is also ...

Which is it?

When I bought the car it was undercharged at .44 pounds. The shop serviced ...
