Get a DiCE-VIDA setup and read the interior trouble codes. I'll bet it is a damper motor problem.

Getting TO the damper motors can be a problem, however.

Also check the small cabin temperature sensor http://www.volvo-forums.com/t41137-cabi ... -where.htm

The window defrost might have blown a fuse, you may have a look in the fuse panels.

Well, I do'nt know. This morning I left my car at mechanic.

I'll let you know the what was a problem....

Edit: The mechanic said that heater unit was stuffy, and that was only problem. Rigdh now temperature in volvo is just like temperature in avgust.

For rear and side windows he said problem is somewhere in instalation.
Regarding that, does somebode has picture or sheme for these instalation? Thank you very much.
