95 960 Condender & A/C Hoses? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be 960 Brickster on  Mon May 23 09:33 CST 2011 [RELATED]

Well the rebuild on the A/C on my 95 960 is moving along. Could not afford to rebuild everything all at once. Did the compressor, evaporator, orifice tube, accumulator/receiver dryer last year hoping that was all. Unfortunately the system leaks still

Three questions.

First, I plan to replace the condenser shortly. I have generally bought genuine Volvo with a 20% discount I have through an association membership. Have found better fit and far fewer problems going genuine. Better to go Volvo, or which after market condensers are good? I hear bad things about Air Products, but good things about Nissens

Second, do I need to replace the 3 pressostats as well?

Third, an a/c shop that did some work last summer said the rf 134 refrigerant is 'smaller' and is prone to bleed through the high pressure hoses. Is it a good idea to replace the a/c hp hoses as well?

The Volvo a/c has been brutal. I have had the car for ten years, but only has good a/c for two summers. I hear that Volvo a/c only lasts for two years if you are lucky, which is brutal. Ideas appreciated here.
