1998 S 70 AC Problem S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Tom R on  Sat Aug 11 04:19 CST 2007 [RELATED]

Thanks Tom...I finally got on to Volvo Spped and found a thread with pictures on the "correct" fix by removing shims inside the clutch plate and the "bread bag" clip fix.

I went out and measured my "gap" and it was larger than my largest feeler guage...about 9mm vs the 4mm that it supossedly sb.

However, it is a bit difficult to get at...seems you need to take off the passenger front wheel and the wheelwell liner...and probably some type of lift.

What I will likely do is to take it to a non-Volvo dealer...maybe an AC shop...and show them the narrative of the issue and the pictures of the fix.

Am I missing something...other say the bread clips (I would use a thin metal shim shaped to the similar size of the "bread clips") procedure should only take a few minutes? Looks like a bit more than that to me?

Thanks...does seem wrong the Volvo dealers don't know (or don't tell) of the fix and just want to install a new compressor w/clutch.
