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 ...

Re: 2013 Volvo S60 T5 AWD Blower Motor Not Working
whoever told you to check refrigerant level for a non working blower motor doesn't need to be working on your volvo. Refrigerant levels have nothing to do with a blower motor running or not. 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. What is the static pressure of the system, car off. Pressure gauges need to be connected to ...

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.

oil catch can
hello
I have a 2012, s60, t5 with about 56000 miles. I just replaced the pcv system due to the common issue with this part. I've been reading up on oil catch cans and wondering if that is something I should do to this car. If so, has anyone done this? if so, any instructions on how you did it and ...

hi....I have a 2012 s60 T5. Is there any preventative maintenance to do for the turbo other than running synthetic oil and changing oil as needed? This is my first turbo car and i try to head off trouble before it happens, so any advice is appreciated.
