NO: 87-51DATE: 07-15-2005
MODEL: S60, S80, V70, XC70, XC90.
M. YEAR: MY05
SUBJECT: A/C System Intermittently Stops Working. Possibly Overcharged.
REFERENCE: VIDA
DESCRIPTION:
Under specific conditions, high temperatures and stop and go traffic, the A/C system may intermittently stop working. For cars with this symptom, check if the A/C system is filled with the correct amount of refrigerant. If the A/C system is found to be overcharged, refill the system with the correct amount of refrigerant.
VEHICLES AFFECTED:
Note:
The chassis ranges only indicate that a limited number of cars within these range are affected!
SERVICE METHOD:
For cars with a complaint as in the description above, verify the correct filling amount of refrigerant by evacuating the A/C system.
From the lower chassis numbers listed in the chassis number list above, the filling amount was reduced due to a new smaller condenser and new smaller receiver dryer.
If the A/C system is found to be overcharged, refill the system with the correct amount of refrigerant (see reference table). The correct filling amount can also be found on the A/C label in the engine compartment.
If the system was found to be charged correctly, continue with normal fault tracing.
