Volvo V40 AC Failure
Summary of the thread
A 2016 Volvo V40 is experiencing a complete air conditioning failure, with a 'Refrigerant compressor failure' error and warm air blowing instead of cold. The issue might be related to the AC control unit, as suggested by a similar experience with a different car model, where electrical faults such as a relay and wiring issues were the culprits. The problem was resolved by replacing the AC control unit, costing 980€.

No weird noises, thankfully. Just… nothing. One day it was fine, the next, total meltdown. Electrical fault, eh? Did they mention anything specific about what part of the electrical system was the problem?

Yeah, it was a nightmare. The Peugeot dealer said it was a relay in the engine compartment and some wiring issues. I would go to the workshop to get it checked. It cost me a pretty penny to get it fixed, so be prepared for a shock! Good luck!

Appreciate the info. Sounds like a trip to the mechanic is in order. I was hoping it was something simple, but I guess not. It was the AC control unit. Cost me 980€ to get it fixed!

Sounds familiar! I had similar issues with my old Peugeot 308. The AC just packed it in. Error codes galore, hot air blowing when it should be cold. It turned out to be some electrical fault that was a pain to trace. Was your compressor making any weird noises before it died completely?
