S60 AC failure

Hi, I'm having some trouble with my 2004 Volvo S60 diesel. The air conditioning has completely stopped working. I'm getting an error stored in the memory, a warning light on the dash, and the AC just won't switch on. No cool air at all. Could this be the AC compressor? Or maybe a refrigerant leak? Any ideas?

Sounds like AC unit issues, alright. Have you checked the refrigerant level, or if the compressor is even kicking on when you hit the AC button? Is there any unusual noise when you try to turn on AC?

Thanks for the reply. I haven't checked the refrigerant level myself, as I don't have the tools. I can't hear the compressor engaging at all when I press the AC button. Any thoughts on where to go from here?

Hmm, if the compressor isn't engaging and there's an error code, it could well be the AC control unit. I had a similar issue, and it turned out the control unit was defective. I would probably take it to a professional workshop to get it properly diagnosed.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice! I took it to a mechanic, and you were spot on. The air conditioning control unit was defective. Cost me 980€ to get it fixed. Thanks again for your help!
