Right...
All that time i was going without A/C..
Today i finally connected Dice.
but first- i tried to look up correct values in vida.
The only reference i was able to find was a very general one that A/C system usually has a pressure of 170-320kPa (1.7-3.2Bar)
Measurement gave me these:
compressor OFF- variable between 880-900kPa
compressor ON- variable between 1130-1250kPa
That definitely doesn`t line up with that general value above, so i dug a bit online.
on volvoxc website i`ve found info that high side should have pressure of around 1300kPa, but it isnt uncommon to see properly working A/C with 1100-1200kPa.
Judging by this- my pressure seems ok.. at least when compressor is running.
I dont know how to check low side pressure.
Somethings wrong, thats for sure. A/C blows air maybe 1 degree colder than inside of car, so there definitely is something wrong..
but i dont know what to check/do next
