Hi Everybody:

Last week I started my GLT and smoke/vapor immediately escaped from underneath the front hood. I checked the engine compartment and couldn't find any liquid and realized it must have been Freon that escaped. That must have been it since I don't have cool air now.

My guess is that I blew a seal somewhere and I'm guessing it's probably the compressor. I'm I correct?

If so, what is the most economical method of repair?

Also, I need to replace my timing belt, front struts, ABS module and some other minor mechanical repairs. I've owned my GLT since I had 83k on it or about four years now and for the most part the car is mechanically sound.

Should I bother making the above needed repairs or should I start looking for another Volvo? I hate to put $1500-$2000 into my GLT if at my current mileage I can just expect one thing after another to go wrong with it.

Any advice is appreciated.

Dan
