Decided to check my AC today after driving the car the other day with what felt like seriously under performing AC. Checked the low side pressure, and it was only around 21 PSI running... pretty low for 90ish degree ambient. Took a whole 340 gram can, and now it's icy.

Yeah, that wasn't gonna cut it. It's been a hot, humid week.

I really need to replace my A/C clutch. About had to break out the scuba gear this week. And I now own(ed) 3 P80s with seized sunroofs.

Long as they’re not leaking sunroofs… not much worse than that!

I'm jealous of all you with your functional A/C. I've got to replace A/C systems on two 2000 V70s at some point. I bought all the parts for my original V70 but it got wrecked, now they'll go to the next one. I started researching the job years ago and have a tome full of notes. But first, I have to get the cars running correctly because that's more mandatory than A/C.

And I've got to get my two sunroofs to stop leaking. I have a full assembly as a spare. Was planning to swap it in to one car, rebuild the leaky metal on the one I removed, and install that into the other. But I found a local source for non-leaking sunroof glass so I'll just get another panel.

But darn I wish I had A/C.

Are you doing your NE cruising sans AC?

You need to stop at Stony Brook AC Specialists soon

Probably need Evaps done, dash out but stupid monkey wrench work, not horrible

Unfortunately, the S70 leaks under heavy rain.
