850/V70 Air Conditioning Compressor problem

Please can anyone help?



2000 V70 classic.

The magnetic clutch on the AC compressor will not pull in unless it is gently tapped (engine running AC on). Can this be fixed or do I need a new one?

First make sure that the compressor is getting full battery voltage, and fix any bad connections that may be limiting this. Otherwise it is possible to pull the plate you're tapping off the compressor and removing some shims from behind it to compensate for clutch wear.
