Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor, visual and physical check
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Large and slow leaks will often result in air conditioning (A/C) compressor oil being drawn out with the refrigerant.
A visual inspection can localize the point where the oil gathers and identify the source of the leak.
- Check the system for corrosion which could cause refrigerant to leak
- Check that there are no loose components.
