I run a 92C thermostat in my V70R. Make sure when you buy a thermostat that it is OEM. Other makes tend to fail in the closed position and will cook your engine.

Check out the engine fan relay, it should engage when ever the AC is on.

The compressor has a thermostat switch which will shut down the compressor if it gets too hot. I forgot where it is, but it is part of the wiring around the compressor.
