Any advice would be appreciated! We bought a 1996 850 for my daughter. The car was great, but my daughter was involved in an accident and the car was totaled. She was not injured - go Volvo! Anyway, we replaced the 850 with a 1998 S70. This car drives great but has some "issues". I'll start with the simple thing first.

Keyless Remotes - Does anyone know if you HAVE to go to Volvo to get these programmed? They want $45.00 for the programming.

Code P0108 - the check engine light came on a couple of days ago and a friend of ours hooked the car up to a handheld computer that his shop has and we were given this code. They cross referenced it and thought it is Volvo's code 422. What does the code mean and is the part difficult to replace? Should we run the risk of buying a salvaged one or just getting a new one from Volvo - my friend can get it at his cost for $136.00.

3. Last, but not least, the A/C. We are having MAJOR issues with it. We bought the car with the understanding that it had problems, but that the evaporator would be replaced before the purchase. When we got the car, the A/C was blowing out very cold air. That lasted for 2-3 days. Hot air. Brought it to a shop. They said they refilled the freon and put a sealer and dye in the system. 3 days later - no cold air. Brought the car to our friend who ownes his own transmission business. They checked with a black light and said there was no dye in the system. They filled it with freon and put dye in (n/c to us). The car blew out cold air for about 7 days and then hot air again. While they were checking on the error code, they refilled it again with freon. Blowing out cold air within seconds. It is scheduled to go back to the shop tomorrow. My friend is going to check it out with the blacklight and with a leak detector?

ANY advice is appreciated.
