Hello,
My AC runs for 10-15 mins blows cold and then blows warm air. I had the sytem checked and recharged. Still no solution I tried the reset suggested on the board still no fix. All symptoms point to the compressor clutch > I made the same repair on my 98 V70. Does anyone have a detailed instructions for this repair? My V50 looks totally different
Thanks

Have you tried tapping on the center of the clutch to see if it engages? If it doesn't engage, then it is probably not the clutch.
The newer cars do have a different clutch and plastic bread clips won't work. You can make spacers out of metal and try them instead of the plastic.

Do I need to remove the wheel well lining to get to the compressor to tap on in it. Also do you know what the gap should be?

Thanks

Your engine bay is quite tight compared to the V70. You probably cannot reach the clutch with a broom stick and give it a small nudge, without getting caught by the S belt. The alternative is to take off the air guide/splash shield to expose the clutch under the car.

The gap should be around .020, the clutch will not pull in if the gap is over .040 and with a warm compressor.
