the lines are 550$ and the work is 300$ so I was thinking on just seal the lines and just have ac on the front.
Any ideeas?
Can you seal the ac lines for the sleeper on a Volvo?

Sure you can cap off the lines but I wouldn't try it yourself, take it to the dealer and pay to have it done.

how about a temporary fix to just buy a portable ac? and when I will have the lines just use the portable one at my house? any problems with this setup?

if its the fittings that are leaking you may be able to replace the o rings, if its the line itself best to replace them. on my old fld blew out a sleeper line in hot weather on a tight budget ended up cutting off the lines and soldering caps on them, and only had front ac with the little 42 inch flat top i found i stayed plenty cool like that and never did end up replacing the lines to the sleeper, a big volvo cab though doubt your going to get enough cold air from just the front.

This might sound mean but honestly if you can't afford doing that small repair Correctly and need to rig up junk you should evaluate your business maybe. Fixing a $800 issue the RIGHT way shouldn't be a problem.
Sorry manvisoiuvlad and boneebone Thank this. -
Wrecking yard for the lines maybe.
visoiuvlad Thanks this. -
if it has a rubber line toward the back run a bolt in there tight and put a hose clamp around I did mine like that 4 years ago an still in business I see no need for it back there my dash keeps the whole truck nice an cool

It's like I really like to fix things and it gives me joy if I can fix it by myself. This part I've solved quickly with some 5$ aluminium pipes and some pressure fittings so lets say the saving money part was a plus. But doing the job with some basic tools and some cheap parts really made my day. Even if it aind going to last because of vibrations still was fun to try. I have 2 weeks now and everything it's working perfect.KB3MMX Thanks this.

You can use a auto A/C repair shop that only works on only a/c most can use a small torch to weld any breaks in alloy lines and refit all rubber lines with damage for a tenth of what a dealer will charge to replace your lines?
KB3MMX Thanks this.
