Tom,
You are correct. The service tech lied. Why am I surprised? At 4pm, this turkey drives into your shop on his return trip of 860 miles, the car is overloaded to the point that one more M&M will kill the Nivomats, a carrier on top that says Volvo on it, and 3 tired travelers.

I just pulled off the splash pan and the long hose that comes from the compressor to the driver's side of the condenser is very, very oily. Right where the hose connects to the metal line that continues to the compressor. I'll bet that is where the problem is.

I was planning to get the evap done this summer, so I guess I will beat the rush and get it done in a few weeks. New hoses too :) I wonder if I should spring for a new condenser, the bottom half looks like it was in a rock fight!

Klaus
