air conditioning fault
Currently air conditioning compressor is leaking from the body. Don't want to replace it to find a fault elsewhere is causing this.
Recently my ventilation system started to blow hot air into the cabin. Had the condenser replaced, no real change. Took in to volvo who identified a pressure fault, replaced sensor, no change in error code so garage refitted the original sensor. Fitted a replacement (2nd hand) compressor and found that the radiator cooling fan was not working. Replaced this and tested it, working fine next day compressor is leaking from the body. Suspecting that the compressor was faulty the breakers sent me another. This does the same. Now don't know whether to get a overhauled unit. But worried that there is a fault causing the seal to blow. Any help would be appreciated |

A few more details may help with advice.
What car, age, mileage, etc? How long have you owned it and what service history do you know? Why did you have the condenser replaced? Why did you replace the compressor? Why did you replace the radiator cooling fan? What research or fault checking was done before replacing items? What different people have done the work you have described and who has done what? Do not get an overhauled compressor. You have replaced various items already and more items seem to be broken after the work than before. It has got me thinking of a bull in a china shop. I may have completely misunderstood your post, but hopefully others may be able to offer more advice if we have more details to go on. |
