Hi everyone, I'm new to this community and new to Volvo's. I just purchased a 1990 240 DL. The car is in pretty good condition and while I'd like to slap on a big turbo, it drives impressively especially for an older car. My problem with the car is that the AC does not blow cold air, and I can't stand being drenched in sweat especially when I wear a suit to work everyday. I had the car diagnosed today it turns out that the AC condenser has a large leak and therefore needs replacement. After reading up on the volvo AC system, I've heard that the AC system is weak compared to other cars and even with the AC running properly, it performs poorly in cooling off the car . I was wondering if it's at all possible to swap a GM or Ford AC system into the 240. My friends with mustangs and rangers have ridiculously cold AC systems, and I'd like the same for my 240 Is this possible, and if so would I have to get a complete AC system from a GM or Ford, or do I just need the AC pump, compressor and condenser? Thank you all for your input.
