V50 AC Problem

Hi, I'm having trouble with the AC in my 2010 Volvo V50 diesel. The air conditioning no longer cools, and a warning light has appeared on the speedometer. A diagnostic test stored an error related to the AC. The system doesn't even switch on anymore. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I had a similar issue with my V50. Does the error message specifically mention the refrigerant compressor, or does it point to a broader AC system malfunction?

Thanks for the quick reply! The error code suggests that the compressor is failing, and the likely cause is a defective air conditioning control unit. Does that sound familiar?

Yes, that does sound familiar. In my case, the control unit was indeed the culprit. I'd recommend getting it checked at a workshop to confirm. The repair cost me around 980€. It's worth it to get your AC back.

Thanks so much for the information! It's really helpful. I took it to the shop, and you were right – it was the AC control unit. All fixed now, and the AC is working perfectly again!
