It seems a little high to me, too. Do you have an indy Volvo shop? Reason I ask is that last summer I replaced the compressor, dryer, switches, vastly overpriced hoses ("rotten") and it took my local non-Volvo indy who it seems is good with everything AC except Volvos AND then my local Volvo indy to get the thing to work.

Serves me right, trying to save 10 minutes driving time -- the Volvo shop is further away. Gawd that Volvo AC system is crap. Not to mention the interior trim, even Honda doesn't try putting metal screws into plastic. Thanks for listening, I was thinking of buying a V70R (again -- will I ever learn? At least my money is in Honda stock, not in Ford.)
