I posted a few weeks ago an AC problem on a 94 850 one of my friends owns. The AC doesn't work. He brought it to the dealer to have it checked out. The dealer diagonsis says bad ignition module something or rather which costs $800 parts and $200 labor to fix.

I followed the recommendations in some of the responses I got and tried to charge the system anyway. We found the problem was a leaking receiver. So I asked him to get a receiver. Install it. And then have someone evacuate the system and recharge. Simple enough.

Today, he brought the 850 to my house. We were going to replace the receiver in my driveway. Two threaded connections and we are done. Right? Surprise! The receiver has a flared connection which Volvo does not want car owners to do. It requires some type of special tool I don't even know an Indy would have.

If you look at the receiver in your 850 on the front passenger side you will know what I mean.

So what are our options? Bring it to the stealer?
