I really do appreciate your help with filling the xc90 . The reason I will be doing it instead of the shop is because we already brought it in 3 times , past 3 summers now . it must have a slow leak somewhere and with Prices upwards to 300.00 for the diagnostic , full flush and computer aided filler many shops use , its just not cost effective for us to bring it in again with our slow leak. My friend , I'm truly scared to think how much a new compressor costs for it. Your help doing this is the best option . Thanks so much. C.f.

I have maintained my 2010 XC90 3.2 ... so damn expensive. Once I get my car back it will be over $5000 in the past year. Struts, control arm, ball joints, battery, srs sensor, clock spring/steering wheel angle sensor, fuel pressure sensor, break pads/rotors, tires, crankshaft case pully, a/c compressor, replaced broken hinge on center console lid, new radiator resovoir and hose, replaced broken trim at base of drivers seat, new oem/volvo floor mats, replaced small grill logo with large grill logo, replaced rings around door lock plungers, replaced gas cap tether, replaced belt tensioner, and both the engine and cabin air filters just for good measure and a I am completely on top of oil and fluids like clock work.. I have racked up 180,000 miles on it and I hope to exceed 500k and beyond... Its just exhausting staying on top of everything and it all seems to hit at once. I THOUGHT you were supposed to weigh to the exact gram how much refrigerant you added to bring it to factory spec as opposed to eye balling it that could lead to premature failure of your compressor. However you do absolutely seem to know what you are doing so to each their own.. enjoyed your video thanks for sharing..

I attempted to add the refrigerant again this time with the leak filler but when I took off the cap to the valve, it was blowing and spitting. The guy at O Riley's said I needed to replace that valve. Is that something that is easy to do? Do you have a video for that repair?
@RobertDIY9 жыл бұрын
Marisa Delci No I do NOT have a video for that. It does sound like the valve is bad. Go to a good auto parts store and ask if they sell the valve. If they do, they many have a tool to screw it in and stop the leak. If you take a screw driver and tap the center piece a couple of times, it may help it seat closed. Before doing that you should put on safety gear like a mask, thick gloves and long sleeve shirt.

Hey Robert, I have been watching your videos for a while and I really like how you make things simple. I recently discovered that my condenser was leaking and causing me to have to put Freon in my 2005 xc90 often to keep it cool. I am going to go ahead and replace the condenser/dryer but boy is it costly from Volvo. However, there are plenty of high quality replacements out there at nearly half the cost as I have used other nonVolvo parts in the past with great satisfaction, Moog being one of my favorite after market replacement parts for suspension work. Can you recommend any nonVolvo condenser/dryer combo out there? Also, have you replaced a condenser before? It looks fairly doable.

Hi Robert.... Love your Videos in general...but I have to say, I am not a fan of this way of recharging the A/C on any car... this is an off-the-shelf "Quick-Fix". We all need to be mindful that R134a...the gas used today.... is a problem for the planet. For us all. It is NOT a benign refrigerant gas: It does harm the ozone layer. (Allegedly.) I listen to the arguments from all sides.... I'm no Greenpeace member or whatever, Friend of the Earth nutcase.... But this idea that you can just wallop in a canister of gas to rejuvenate your car's A/C system is not a positive step forward. It simply cannot be. For a start: Your "Not as cold as it should be" could be caused by many other factors. To correctly analyse any system....be it a car or a domestic refrigerator or a refrigerant plant, you need to know the discharge pressure from the compressor. There is no "dipstick" to check the gas level in any cars A/C... There are many factors at play. The gas itself has a complex atomic structure...it goes through several changes in its physical state depending on two major factors: Pressure & Temperature. That is the whole principle of refrigeration: The exchange of energy to produce different states of physical being. Gas to liquid. Liquid to gas. Robert: I love your videos....you have helped me immensely with my own Volvo XC90 and for that, I will always be grateful, of course. Stay well, my friend.

Hi Robert. I am surprised you needed to ask that question. My point is simple: There was no reference to ambient temperature. You did not measure the discharge pressure from the compressor...and you used a gauge that was next to useless: "Low-OK-High".... totally meaningless. If that gauge indicated "Low"....it could equally mean the TXV/Thermal Expansion valve is partially blocked.... in which case you be will be easily increasing the head pressure from the compressor (Discharge) to a dangerous level that may or not be saved by the HP Cut-out...or...lose the compressor and/or the condenser. Yeah.OK...it's a Band-Aid fix.... it might work.....but probably won't and, if (Big IF) the system WAS short of gas it needs most urgently needs to be determined where it has gone....... Otherwise, like R12.... we are achieving nothing by simply repeatedly "topping up the gas"..... Like a gas-fired BBQ. Stay well. Best regards.
