I am getting ready to replace the receiver/dryer (accumulator) on my '95 850T. I have the receiver/dryer, o-ring kit and orifice tube from FCP. I have the r134a, PAG oil, vacuum device, and good gauges. I have been recharging the system for the first half of the summer, but recharging has become too frequent. Two independent diagnoses say that the evap is ok, the Volvo dealer says that the receiver/dryer is the problem (pd $100 for the diagnosis).

I don't have the coupling tool yet, but will make a run this afternoon to the local parts store. I checked with Volvo and they wanted $50 for the tool and couldn't ship it until September 15th.

My question is, where is the orifice tube located?

I will post pictures of the job when it is complete.
