Aircon fix

    Just thought I'd share this

    Aircon was not working on my 2000 V70 classic - mate who's an aircon
    engineer topped it up but it hardly took any - still not working.
    In the meantime I bought a OBD tester/reader/eraser from eBay for my Jag XJ
    sport - plugged it into the Volvo to see if it would communicate, it did and
    came up with a code that corresponded to an aircon sensor pressure fault -
    reset the fault code and hey presto!!! working aircon and it's been ice cold
    for over a week.

    Just in case you are chasing a gremlin in your aircon - check the OBDII
    faults,

    Cheers,

    Steve

    I bet you just saved yourself a TON of money, since just about any
    shop could have really hammered you for unnecessary parts and without
    that knowledge you gained, they could have replaced or made up any
    story to make money off that fix.

    Nice work!
