Hey! Thanks for the fast reply, it's comforting to know I'm not alone here, haha! As you've been through the same Sahara-like situation, I wanted to ask: Do you remember how much you shelled out for the refrigerant recharge and leakage repair back then? And by the way, has anything similar cropped up with your car since then, or has it been smooth sailing? Just trying to figure out what to expect. Cheers!

Hey, Great to hear from you! As for your questions, the cost was absolutely zilch, nada, nothing. I guess I got lucky, cause the repair guy - old Steve, cool dude - he fixed the issue pro bono. Suppose he had some extra refrigerant lying around. The defect in the refrigerant compressor was indeed the culprit, and once that was sorted, my A/C was as good as new, blowing cold breezy like the Arctic. Since then? It's been smooth driving! Keep in mind though, that's been my experience, the key here is having a trusty mechanic who knows their stuff. Just don't let this little problem stress you out too much, your Volvo's tougher than it looks. Stay frosty and let me know how it all turns out. Later!

Thanks once again for your help and advice. You're a lifesaver! Catch you later. Cheers!

Hey there, Yeah, I've been in your shoes before. I had a 2017 Volvo V60 with about 120,000 KM on the clock. It had a similar problem, the A/C wasn't blowing cold air at all, felt like driving through the Sahara, I tell you! At first, I thought it might be the compressor or some electrical issue, serious stuff. But turns out, the air conditioning refrigerant was all dried up, not a drop left. Took it to my local garage and the mechanic diagnosed the issue pretty quickly. Just like I guessed, he stated that the refrigerant was completely emptied, might have been leaking for a while. What they did was pump it back full with the refrigerant and mended the leakage. Just remember, it's not always a life or death situation with your ride. It was a bit of a relief to know it was just the refrigerant. So, don't panic, just get your refrigerant checked up. Good luck with it, let me know how it goes.
