Bread Clip AC Compressor Fix?

Post by Griffe »

Hi all,

Just bought my first Volvo, a 2004 XC90 and we've got AC problems. Have just topped up the refrigerant which was lower that it should be but the issue is still there. It starts off cold and then warms up, I've read that this is caused by the AC compressor clutch slipping and there are several options to fix this. Replacing the compressor isn't an option currently so I want to try the bread clip or cable tie repair first but can't find the thread on here that relates to it, can someone point me in the right direction? Cheers
