Hello, bin Laie, own a Volvo S 40 built in 2008 with the following data: Volvo S40 (from 2004) Body shape 4-door model year 2008 Factory code 2 chassis No. 401494 Engine type B4184S11 Gear type MTX75 overhaul at ATU because air conditioning did not work. These have provided the following information: “Air conditioning system sucked off: 10 grams, air conditioning completes, compressor runs on-climate maintenance, leak search additive, air conditioning oil, maintenance interrupted, vacuum test did not pass, air conditioning drained, L The air conditioning M. Nitrogen/Formga lacks: Sniffler plugs on the capacitor and in the interior”. Now both ATU and Volvo have told me that the whole dashboard has to be lowered so that you can get to the evaporator, which may be leaking or other components in the interior. Only when the entire dashboard is down, you can check this. Cost point 3000€ – 4000€ My questions: 1. Must the dashboard get out completely or can you get through a tric k for example by dismantling the center console there. Please a complete instructions, if possible with photos give me in the hand. I am Laie 2. Should nevertheless the whole dashboard out and I can not, it would make sense to change the capacitor and then to have a new leak-proofing carried out. Before I do this, the air conditioning must be cleaned. To what extent would the leaking gas in the interior health damage, climate R134 A. That it is unwieldy The first workshop had told me something completely different, that the air compressor is defective, although electricity is coming, it does not run. Should I have the air compressor replaced immediately and for the time being only the capacitor?. Is then a spout of the air conditioner necessary? I thank you for your information already in advance.
