1995 940 AC Compressor Rarely Engages?

Hello all! So this issue started last week, at first I was driving and all was normal, then I noticed the AC wasn't blowing cold for about 4 minutes, then it came on again for 1 minute, then off again. On this day, the air blew cold for about 1 out of every 5 minutes through hours of driving.

Re: 1995 940 Base, Air not blowing main vents.

For the sake of closure on this thread:

The seller lied about fixing the vents just to get me to drive out and see the car again, very shady guy. I used his lie to get him to drop the price another $100. Thanks to your help, I stopped the car 3 minutes down the road after buying it, plugged the ...

Re: 1995 940 Base, Air not blowing main vents.

Thanks so much for the info! I've been watching this thread like a hawk. Good to hear that these are most likely not serious issues. The seller actually got back to me today and said he fixed the vent issue. Ran a CARFAX too and looks like a good buy. Two owners, timing belt replaced at 102k miles ...

1993 960 Wagon advice?

Hello there,

I'm shopping for a new old Volvo, and a 93 960 Wagon has caught my eye. All the Volvo's I've owned in the past have been 4 cylinder engine models, and I know they are bulletproof. This 960 has a l6 engine and I'm a bit nervous, what is your take on the 93 960 wagons? The one in ...

Help! Nightmare S40 from Craigslist...

So I picked up a 2001 Volvo S40 with 68,000 miles on it from Craigslist.. The seller seemed honest enough, a female college student in her mid 20's going to a nice college.

After about 40 miles of driving the oil light came on, I checked the oil and it was full, but I put a little extra in just to ...

Re: Keep your Volvo's Radio Code Here

621121 is not my code.. I waited 4 HOURS!!

What the hell am I supposed to do now?! The code is in the volvo database as 621121, and when I put it in, it just sits there with the numbers on the screen, everyone keeps talking about how they enter the code 3 times, or they enter the code and it works ...

Re: Keep your Volvo's Radio Code Here

I guess my code is:

621121

Went to the dealer, the service guys say it has to be 4 digits, but they cant look up the code "Go talk to the parts guy." they say.
Go to the parts guy, he gives me a 6 digit code and double checks it.. So I go back to the service guys, and they say there's no way it's ...
