I don't have a 940 and cannot read your fine print, I am sorry, but items like that are very often sourced from several suppliers, operating in multiple countries. And different year by year. I know Volvo has built cars in Canada and I think Antwerp (850) I just installed a 960 evaporator "Volvo" from the dealer, and if I recall correctly it was ID'd as made by bankrupt GM spinoff Delphi, in France. How Swedish is that? I installed a MB ML320 brake switch today, also Delphi. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1355565&rss=1 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 02:44 GMT Nothing will patch under pressure. You might be able to have an AC shop recrimp or replace the end fitting, if the rubber seems sound. At least it is the LP hose, not the 275 pound one (on a hot day). http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1355189&rss=1 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 02:19 GMT I had a bad aftermarket evaporator in my 1995 1960, somehow the Freon flow was restricted internally, a new "Factory" evap cost a bundle, but worked fine. A very strange problem, thanks to all who weighed in. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1354719&rss=1 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 23:54 GMT Good thought, yes, and the condensate catcher plastic scrim on the outflow side was lovingly reinstalled. The evap change was very simple. Take out the glove and the airbag and out it comes. All is normal inside the case. Also I'm getting very little condensate out the drain, while the accum is covered with cold droplets... Keep thinking! Thank you. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1299704&rss=1 Thu, 4 Sep 2008 03:15 GMT Good thought, yes, and the condensate catcher plastic scrim on the outflow side was lovingly reinstalled.

Thank you. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1299703&rss=1 Thu, 4 Sep 2008 03:15 GMT I have both the wiring (sec 3 39)and climate (sec 8 87) manuals and after replacing the evaporator, accum, PAG oil to order and a good pumpdown recharging to the exact ounce I have great cooling of the accum and suction line but evidently not enough airflow to transfer much heat to the R134a. At that rate I'm going to slug the compressor with liquid and blow it up while still being hot. Condenser fan blows like a happy panda. Total cooling is only about 10- 15 degrees and the recirc flap is stationary/nonfunctional drawing outside air only. I can push the closed flap up through the fan intake. Vac lines (3) were reconnected outside and also the one to the multiball tank was not forgotten. Heater valve functions. The thermistor in the blower housing ohms to spec (10-ish). My initial thought was I was getting uncontrolled hot air. I am not sure the electric flap motor is working. either. How do you acccess that item? Thru the radio hole? I have an unconnected yellow female connector in the glove box area. It may be A11 or probably A10 but exactly where would it plug in? Diagrom unhelpful. I must have missed something???? I cannot find an obvious makeup point, even though I may have unmade it. Or is it for something not in the car? A second complication is that the distance between the pass dash vent and the airbox in the center somehow got about 3/4" "longer", I had to graft in a tubular spacer, what the heck moveed when I pulled the duct out? Nothing obvious. Very odd. Could I have jammed the flap motor? These sound like simple problems but are driving me crazy. The car cooled fine with the evap leak, with some R 134 added, even though the coil was about 1/3 blocked with leaves and junk. The leak was big enough to send a large stream of bubbles up in a bucket or water when pressurized with shop air. I must have bungled something but what/how? I'm convinced the refrig system per se is fine. This is the first AC problem that has ever stumped me, please, someone light a lightbulb over my head. I'm getting tired and hot. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1299683&rss=1 Thu, 4 Sep 2008 01:31 GMT Use the text input below to search brickboard.com query http://www.brickboard.com/FIND/
