Evaporator not needed?

Hmmm - the same folks that want $3,000 for a $1200 job told you it was "junk"? I have a 1998 V70. The AC gradually lost cooling at about 80,000.

1998 V70 AC Evaporator and other stuff

Bought my 98 V70 basic model used with 63k on it off lease. Now have 85,000 (in 12 months). Most comfortable all around road car/ride confidence I have ever had. Even though I had to have the driver door welded at 70,000 - with absolutely no interest from Volvo USA in fixing this problem that should ...
