Am I right in thinking that the replacement AC compressor has been beefed up so the failure is unlikely to recur? That’s what I infer from a bit of reading around, but I’m a little bit bothered by reports, upthread, of people on their 4th or 5th compressors!

I'm exactly a month ahead of you with the V60 and did the same research that you are going through.
Mine has done 30k in just under 5 years, but mileage doesn't seem to be a major factor in failures, so I did this:- - Bought a 2 year warranty from Volvo (as still in scope) - Booked a Volvo air con service for £99 - Will save up do the mega service at the end of the year (and do ISG belt at same time) so there's no scope for warranty 'interpretation' |

Assuming you’re replying to me, that’s useful advice, thanks.

The first pump had mechanical failure which resulted in condensation and short circuit. The replacement pumps are fine, but have to be replaced in a very specific way. If it isn't done right the new refrigirant will lose it's abilty to lube the pump and then it dies again. And againd, and againg...

Thanks, that's useful to know. Presumably, then, main dealer fitting is no guarantee? Any way to check whether the job's been done right?

Just bumping this.
My compressor is dead at the minute. Was replaced under warranty in March 2020 and died again in September 2021. Been offered 50% goodwill discount , but with this such a known fault, can't see how anything less than 100% discount would be acceptable. As an aside, if I were to get it replaced again now, I'd have the newer, better compressor installed? |

I have a V60 D6. The aircon went over a year ago and then the alternator started making a noise like a lathe. I've been driving it for ages but it's finally expired - which I think is the mechanical AC-> DC charge side. If I start the car it sits there on battery. If I blip the throttle in Park, the engine starts OK and I can drive it on engine. If I try to set off in hybrid it gets upset and then tells me there's no engine. Then a few seconds later the engine starts and I can drive it.
It's going in in just under 2 weeks to have new alternator and new aircon compressor. A £3k fix. My question is this - with a full EV battery and running on the engine (no electrical energy generated from engine -> but the DC part of the alt is still working, will it keep the car battery charged up from the EV battery? The car seems stable without the alternator but I don't want to flatten the car battery, although I have a full EV and it charges fine. I am 40 miles from the Volvo dealer who knows how to fix it. The one in Southampton is useless - thanks Last edited by theandypandy; Oct 21st, 2022 at 18:39. |
