QuestionOwner of a 1998 Volvo S70 my A/c does not blow cool air. Twice in 2002 in the same month 1/03/02 and 1/31/02 a/c had same problems, I took it to Volvo Dealer where it was purchased. At that time mechanic added a/c dye, -134A, found leaking evaporator, and high pressure hose. Replaced evaporator hose, accumulator, freon and o-rings, evacuted and recharged. January 2003 I had 50,000 miles service check, cost 545.00, I asked mechanic about a/c and cooling system, was told I shouldn't have anymore problems, November 2003 I again asked about my cooling system. Mecchanic performed granitize cooling system service, flushed radiator, added anti-freeze total 129.95 After calling dealer April 6, 2004 about my a/c problem, and asking would I have to pay anything to get it repaired, the reply was yes because cooling system service has nothing to do with the a/c. I'm beginning to wonder about my dealer, because I have been charged 93.00 for oil change, 126.65 for replacing an antenna, and these are just a few things where I've think I've been over charged. Since the purchase of the car in 1998 I've alway had the scheduled maintenance checcks. Can anyone please assist me?
Answerthe cooling syatem and Air conditioner system are 2 different syatems the cooling system refers to the engines cooling sytem(antifreeze,waterpump thermostat,cooling fan)this keeps the engine cool the air conditioner system is the freon and climate control unit that is what cools the passenger compartment of the car.93.00 on a oil change seems high the antenna price is about right.
