Hi,
My 2008 xc90 front AC is not cooling but the rear AC is cooling. I got 97 deg F in the front AC.
I took it to a workshop today and they tell me the compressor needs to be replaced. But am not so sure since the rear AC is working OK.
Am not sure if both the front and rear ACs share same compressors? if it's the same compressor how can it be bad when the rear is cooling.
Pls help anyone

Regards

Kaka

You are right. It is either in the control panel, or the blending doors/mechanisms under the dash.
Current Volvos:
1998 V70 T5, 112k sat 5 years, still in mechanical coma (finally at the top of the pile )
2004 XC90 T6 AWD: 186k, 60 on transaxle ( traded in )
1998 POS70 N/A: DD/training aid, 236k but really about 240k, I think...ABS module( passed on to son who sold it)
