Re: 2003 S40 with intermittent AC issues

It was doing this before the compressor went out last year. To me if it had a leak or the pressure was low it would always blow warm air, plus looking at the sight gauge I don't see any foam. It's intermittent. Yesterday it worked, today it did not. Often when I get out of work and start my car it b...

Re: 2003 S40 with intermittent AC issues

So, if it is a blend door issue..? Any good advice on how to change it...? Video on You Tube..? It blew cold today on the ride home, but who knows what tomorrow will bring. I've priced the part on line and at $70 it's worth a shot

Re: 2003 S40 with intermittent AC issues

2003 S40 with intermittent AC issues

My 2003 S40 has developed an intermittent AC cooling issue. More often then not when I select the AC button nothing happens. It continues to blow warm air. Once in a while it will work and blow cool air, but not ice cold as it did when I bought it used in 2005. I replaced the Climate Control Module ...
