I think I have a problem with my '95 850. I use the A/C quite a bit, and it has been blowing cool/cold. For the last two days, whenever I cold-start the car with the A/C on, I can hear the compressor/clutch cycling once a second for about 30 seconds. Then it stops, and air blows cold.
I took it in this morning to my Volvo mechanic, and he told me that the system was charged. By the time I got there, even though I turned the engine off, and then back on again, it had stopped happening so I couldn't reproduce the problem over there.
Both times that it has happened, it has happened after the car was parked overnight. Is this the first signs of evaporator failure?
About a week ago I added one 14 ounce can of R134a to the system, because it seemed like it wasn't cooling as fast as it used to. But only about half the can went in.
Thanks, Beverly
