A-c In The Extreme Heat

My 99V70xc recently had some probs cooling the car when it was 103 degrees and we were driving into the sun. I had to turn the fan up a lot and press indoor air circulation to make it better. after we stopped for gas and turned out of the sun, it cooled a lot better. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this....

+1 to what turboV70 said...

but I know my AC system could use some TLC.

Found something out last nite screwing around on the open highway... when I hit 100mph the ac cut off - kinda scared me at first, thought I broke something.

DOH! Just realized this was 99+ forum... my car is a 94.

Yeah, as soon as SF bay area weather hits the low 80's, everybody starts freaking out over the "heat wave," frozen yogurt shops run out of supplies and close early, and there's a run on single-room air conditioners at Home Depot, we get to turn on the AC in the car(s).

Seriously, my four Volvo AC's have cooled just fine, though the AC really bit into the non-turbo 850's low-end power. The only problem has been with the 780T, which will spontaneously go into automatic mode and start blowing cold air everywhere but where I want it.
