AC only works when cold outside
Any advice on why my 2004 S60R would only work when the weather is cold or just on cold start-up. Once the car warms up it does not work anymore except in cold weather when it keep working???

Re: AC only works when cold outside
When you say don't work do you mean the compressor cuts out or intermittently cools?

Re: AC only works when cold outside
My 08 C30 T5 AC will also stop working when the weather get too warm. I know that is the problem. Have not address this yet. There are other videos and write ups about the compressor shim problem.

The Creator is punishing you for bearing England in the final.
Well done.
It sounds like a classic clutch gap problem
