The fan seems to be working fine.
Will an OBDII indentify this problem?

Thanks for the suggestion about checking the clutch gap. That could be it. I put a pressure guage on the line and cranked the AC to high. The pressure reading was in the 35psi range and it was putting out some reasonably cool air. That tells me the coolant level is probably okay.

One other thing I ...

Folks,

I've got a problem with the AC on my V70 wagon. It works okay when I first turn it on but eventually starts blowing warm air. If I turn it off and then back on, it will work again for a while. It seems like it cycles off but then doesn't come back on?

The air isn't overly cold but ...

Folks,

I have the exact same problem with my 1998 V70. It has been going on for quite a while (months). I describe the problem as that of making a "tractor tire" road noise. It starts at around 25-30 mph and then continues until you stop. I literally sounds like someone replaced your tire with a ...

thanks. I've have one of those kits where you can check the freon charge level and add freon. I hope it isn't the evaporator core leaking again. Just had it replaced about 3 years ago and it was $1200 due to the intense labor required to take apart the entire dashboard.

Folks,

My AC goes off on its own and blows hot air for about 5 minutes and then cycles back on blowing cold air. The fan keeps blowing hard which indicates it hasn't reached the desired temp. The onlyother thing I can add at this point is that the outside temp is around 80-85 degrees.

Any ideas ...

It is particularly loud when the car first starts up and continues. I've left the car on for a couple of minutes and it doesn't go away.

My V70 wagon just started making this horrible metal on metal rattle, squeeling, whirring noise. It clearly sounds like it is coming from the driver's side of the engine (opposite side of the belts, alternator, etc.).
One of my neighbors suggested it might be the starter motor engaging but not ...

I've not seen the up arror on the dash although I did see the
winter mode light on the W button flash once while shifting
from reverse to drive.

Weird problem that started recently and has me and my mechanic perplexed. The car sometimes won't accelerate as normal when starting from a stop. It almost feels like the brake is on or I'm pulling a heavy trailer. The engine makes a straining sound ...
