A/C Issues

Post by halltj2 »

I've read thru the A/C problems and tips page and have found it quite helpful but I wanted to ask some questions regarding my specific car.

I have a 2000 S70 and about 2 months ago the A/C started blowing warm. I charged the system with a couple of cans and it worked fine for close to 2 months. Temps in the area have been 97-110 during that time (not sure if how much that matters...). Anyways it's blowing warm again. Looks like it needs another charge. It has 190K miles and I was just wondering if having to recharge it again so soon was normal or if I have bigger problem on my hand. Is it a leak? Do the leak sealers work?

Thanks in advance!

leak sealers do not work... well the tire ones do but not a/c.
