I would suggest that this fix is only very slightly increasing the current to the compressor and will not last very long as the clutch wears further. I ried connecting an extra 6 volt battery in series with the clutch coil, which really pulled the clutch in and was OK until I blew up the extra battery while playing around. I was also persuaded by others on the UK Volvo Club forum that it was not a good idea. I ended up biting the bullet and adjusting the clutch gap in situ, which was not too difficult. There are various threads on the UK forum and others describing how to do it. In the one following I describe how I did the job on a V70, following instructions given in an earlier post: http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=14&topic_id=19712&mesg_id=20007&page=
