A/C compressor leak 700

posted by  someone claiming to be D- squared on  Tue Jul 29 03:47 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have a 89'740T with 235K miles. I converted over to 134a last summer with excellent results (38-40 F). This year it appears that the compressor has developed a leak, to leaking down overnight after a recharge and the pressure not high enough to make the pressure switch. The leak seems to coming from the back of the compressor(using an electronic leak detector) where the two steel lines connect to a manifold plate that bolts to the back of the compressor. Is there a gasket/o-ring that might need replacing between this plate and the compressor or is it more likely that the internal seals of the compressor are leaking ?. In either case is there a rebuild kit that is available ?

You may be lucky.
I'd try replacing the O rings that are under the two fittings.
My compressor was leaking badly from the front seal which is leading me to a (new) different compressor.
Try the Volvo dealer for the O rings to ensure getting the right ones.
Even if they charge ten times what they should you're still under $5.
Good luck,
Patch
