Aircon

Tulip0852 · Jul 17th, 2013, 09:51

Hi folks, just a quick question regarding the aircon system of my car, a 2003 V70 140 se auto. The compressor makes rather a lot of noise, doesn't disengage and aircon hardly works. Now I have tried to turn the the compressor by hand with the engine off, naturally, and it feels quite stiff and difficult to turn, is that normal?? Also, if I need to change the compressor, then are the seals etc. available? And if so, where can I get them from?
Thanks, Rob (tulip0852)

Hello, Assuming you slackened the belt, the compressor should turn by hand. Every rebuilt compressor I ever bought came with the gaskets. How many miles were on your car when this happened? Kira

Hey Kira, sorry for the late reply, been on my holls. The car has done 198.000mls give or take a few.
