98-03 Volvo AC question

Freon level?

 

115 deg in the desert going West to Cali on Wed.-turn it up full blast, sit back & relax.

 

Mid 70's is fine, especially when it's over 110 outside.
I see these poor saps running across the desert with their windows down like they have no A/C, but then they're usually Mexican, so they are probably use to it! lol

 

Mine will freeze you out at 95-100F outside but it's a 07 truck. Most 134 systems prefer a slight overcharge for best performance.
Does your fan cycle often when it's 80°+ ?

 

I think thats your problem. Im from Ontario and am sitting at a flying J in Tusla. Its 36 and windy. My clutch fan keeps cycling and its cold in here. I priced fans at FGI against Traction and FG was cheaper. Do you have a climate control issue? Until I got the system fixed, need ac line and evaporator, the fan would hardly come on.

 

I had an alternator issue that affected mine. I was getting 12.5-7 volts but wasn't enough to make the compressor clutch engage and work correctly. New alternator= great AC
