Hi, tech, how are you doing?, I hope good, I want to let you and EVERYBODY here know that I changed the evaporator in my station wagon following your instructions, and I really can tell you something: those instructions are perfect, I changed it, my A/C is freezing now, thanks, they were charging me $ 1200.00, parts and labor, 10 hours, that means 2 working days, I got an evaporator in perfect shape from a wrecked 850 for $ 40.00 and did all this in the weekend, my wife helped me, without your help I wouldn't even try anything so complex like that, you do an excellent job in this forum, thanks again, Carlos.

 

Congrats glad it helped.

 

Here is the link to the procedures (one of the stickies)...

I forgot to say that after the replacement you'll have to take your car to the dealer or a volvo shop to reset the SRS, I did it today, cost: $37.50, in a Volvo shop, Houston, TX, it took them 10 minutes to do it, the dealers are wayyyy much more $$$$$$

 

Regarding the 1996-1998 model years, the "Service" light and "SRS" light are NOT ODB-II. Most likely, managed by a proprietary Volvo computer. You can purchase your own "Service" and "SRS" reset tool.
