MVS hosts multiple posts on Volvo P80 a/c issues. I've pulled together information from some of them that I've found helpful and added some of my own insights gleaned from refurbing the a/c systems on both of my 96 850's. The following link providing access to the file on Google Drive contains some photos and text describing my experiences. Comments welcome!

I believe in working with the editors!

Glad to share. Plus, I might need the info again in 5 years; now I know where to find it.
