STUMPED. XC60 '11 a/c service ports?
Hello Everyone, Glad to be part of this Volvo Forum.
Well, We (wife's) have a 2011.5 XC60 3.2L
It currently has 62,500 miles (yes, Just out of warranty)
a/c isn't blowing cold. I popped the hood to only find 1 "6Nm" service port.
I looked (traced) the a/c lines and didn't find the Low side service port.
So, I called the Parts Dept. (Volvo) Nick said it's a screw-in kit for $55.
Do I need this "kit" or is he just selling something I don't need?
Also, exactly where is the Low side a/c service valve?
Thanks for any info n help.

Mhmm, Interesting? I'll look and feel for any oil there. Thanks again.
Guess that's why we never buy any "1st year New models" bc of the possible defects the hadn't found out about yet.
Your a real life saver ES6T! Thank you so very Much.
Now just waiting for my wife, so I can check out under the cowl and charge up the a/c.

1st off, Thanks to ES6T. Wow, Huge amount of room under the cowl.
It took a full 12oz can and still needed the 2nd can but only about 1/3-1/2 of it.
When I removed the service port cap I saw and felt oil. So I found the leak.
Valve core issues.
Robinaire makes a valve core removing tool (O'reilly, around $80) that you won't have to blow or reclaim the charge. It isolates the a/c circuit and you may loose a .10 oz or less.
The special core tool is kind of costly vs just doing it the old fashion way...
reclaim, vacuum, triple evac, fine tune w/ virgin R134a
