  1. As for this tune melting down in 2 weeks... this makes me wonder a few things.

    Who installed the ARD tune? I say that because the first reaction was to have it towed to a dealer and have them install a brandnew factory ECU?? Are there pictures of said melted tune??

    The only thing I think would cause components to overheat like that would be poor electrical contact. Example... a bad laptop power adapter connection can cause components to get very hot.

    The ECu was put in by a volvo tech at a dealer. i had the ecu shipped to me from lucky. Yes i had a factory ecu installed. I was not going to wait for another tune that could potentially break again.

  2. I had an ARD tune on my R. Ran great for a few days holdin 20-21lbs of boost. Days later got 25 lb spikes, car started running a little rough. Few days after, car ran very rough. Got a cel light, car ran like shit. Had to have it towed to my dealer, opened the ecu, found melted parts. had to buy a brand new ecu. I'm not getting another ARD tune. i would stick with IPD, Elevate, BSR, or whatever Viva sells. That was my experience with the ARD tune.

  3. We can add a can to yours and see what happens. Quick cycling usually means low charge, best thing to do would be to put a can in and observe the pressure after a bit. You may just be low and have a tiny leak that will still keep your air ice cold for months on end!

    Talking about A/C in 2 different threads FTW. :lol:

    If your coolant is clean I would just drain it, catch it and reuse it. If it's been a while since you've put fresh in then drain, refill. :D

    Easiest thing to do I think....

    haha lets talk about my a/c Aaron!

    this is moving at 45 mph for at least 20 minutes on some back roads. its so fucking hot. and no ac :arob:
