Re: Intermittent AC 2012 Volvo S60

hi susan,
well, i'd never take my car to any of those places that says they couldn't diagnose your a/c, unless they were not set up for a/c diagnosis, that's for sure.
The only way to properly diagnose your a/c is to start with reading high/ low side pressures on the a/c gauges that a shop ( or ...

Re: Compressor type

I have a 2012 T5 and it appears i also have a separate belt for the compressor. I have vida/dice and wonder if it would show me anything.
Anyway, rockauto shows compressors with 6 rib, 5 rib, and 3 rib pulleys. Doesn't help much. I suspect mine is a 3 rib as it does look narrower.
Maybe go to a ...

Re: Compressor type

I'm assuming( i hate that word) that you have no leaks. Hi/ low side pressures are outside temp. dependent and you didn't say what that was....or what the mileage is...but i'd guess ( assume) that the low readings are high and the high side is low......also, working better in milder temps also ...

Refrigerant levels can only be properly checked by reading the high side/ low side pressure readings. Does ...

Re: AC problem and engine service request: connected?

it helps to know what year car and mileage. Also, you need to try and be more specific as to symptoms .Troubleshooting a/c over the internet can lead to a twilight zone of time and money spent with no fix.

Re: s60 rear brake pads worn much faster than front ones

i have a 2012 s60, t5, fwd. 57,000 miles...I replaced my rear pads before the front also. This seems to be " normal" . I didn't replace the rotors, they didn't need it. This car is not driven hard.
