Can you be more specific?
Does it still work and is not effective, or just doesn't activate? |

When you flick the switch the air temp doesn't change.

RE: Air con not working on 850...
Lots of threads on this if you go for search - but in brief, you've almost certainly lost gas through a failed seal or cracked hose (cheapish) a damaged compressor (expensive) or a knackered evaporator (very expensive).
First stage is a diagnosis from a good air conditioning specialist (search again) and then a visit to Mr. Bank Manager. Nothing much about air conditioning is cheap except re-gassing, and that's usually a symptom of something more expensive. I've said this twice before, but searching the many threads about this will guide you and give you valuable clues to preventive maintenance. |

I had the same probby on my V70.
My local Volvo dealer charged £70 or so for re-charging the system and all is now well. Hope you get on alright. Steve. |
