First the alternator, then the aircon compressor- the fan next? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter J on  Fri Dec 29 03:45 CST 2000 [RELATED]

It's been a bad few months lately ... first the alternator cooks itself, now the aircon compressor has had the "Richard" , all on a 1996 model with just under 40,000 km on the clock - pretty poor reliability from a Volvo! - particularly when I compare it to our 1984 240, which I've had next to no problems with over the past 10 years since I've owned it. So much for progress and improvements.

The problem now is with the aircon/heater fan (my car doesn't have climate control. I'm not sure if I'm going paranoid but it seems to be putting out less air on all 4 speeds? Could this be the next problem? Is there any filter that could be blocked/restricted or any other problem that could cause the fan to be less efficient?

Look forward to any comments

Regards

PJ
