1999 V70T5M Air Conditioning Clutch ziptie fix

Post by abscate »

HAD to renew the clutch shims on my 99 this morning - took about one hour

Block , jack remove RF wheel
Remove air dam up front

AC clutch gap was uniform at 0.75mm, spec is 04.-0.6
AC was going out after 10 minutes operation.

I used three pink zip ties, forcep, small screwdriver to put three ties closest to clutch hub, pull tight, and clip off.

Gap after ties was 0.3 - a bit tight but I will run with it.
