95 960 Condenser & A/C Hoses? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be 960 Brickster on  Mon May 23 17:29 CST 2011 [RELATED]

Thanks for the post. I am strongly leaning toward the original Volvo condenser.

Re the hoses, the a/c shop that recharged last summer had a sniffer that seemed to sense refrigerant along the hoses. The shop said the 134 is smaller particulate size, and so can leach through the hoses more than the old refrigerant. That or a tech at the shop got refrigerant/oil mix on the hoses after evac and recharge.

The pressostats work as far as i know. The rad fan comes on as normal, and I have kept them greased and so they are not likely rusted. How can I test these once off? Any idea what new ones cost?

Thanks here.
