StylinMotors Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 My wifes car has a leak in the A/C. We can smell the freon in the cabin when a/c is on so I am assuming the leak is in the coils by the fan. Where is this and how hard will this be to fix?

--Aaron-- Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Scroll down a little and there are some threads that will keep you content for a little. http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/8739-volvospeed-useful-threads-for-repairs/ Here's a shot of carnage from my CC/Radio wood trim install, yes, all that for a stupid piece of wood trim. It's honestly a lot worse than it looks. If you are good with hand tools and have patience this job is easily within your grasp. Mind you the shot in this picture needs taken just a little further to access the evaporator but just to give you an idea....... Also, thanks for the vacuum lines in 2008. They are holding up wonderfully. Best of luck and let us know if you have any questions. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to look at the evap by removing the glove box and the fan behind it. You can see a little bit of it through the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
