AC rebuild? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be shade tree mechanic on  Sun Apr 20 03:11 CST 2003 [RELATED]

The a/c is shot, and has been an open system for three years. We are going to replace Condenser, evaporator, receiver dryer/purifier/accumulator, system hoses, filter Screen and install a Narton Variable Orifice Valve. Naturally we plan to replace Compressor Oil Evacuate System, Clean evaporator drain, Recharge with R134a and dye Test for leaks. Volvo often makes lousy parts, such as the rads with the plastic ends, or brake pads that need shims to prevent squealing and produce copious amounts of dust. The upper rad necks are fragile, crack and often blow off. Many use Nissens in place of the volvo disposable parts. The nissens are usually all metal, and hence not succeptable to the issues of plastic. Why do you thingk that Volvo OEM parts are the best choice?
