    Hi All;

    I have a 92 960 with a broken AC.

    The condenser has been out for months while I try and work out how to
    find a probable leak in it, which I am prity sure is around its pipe
    connections.
    I heard a hiss from this area one day, thinking it was from the front
    offside(UK) tyre, I was keen to find the problem. My experience with
    Volvo is having to change rads because of the fractures caused by
    connecting solid pipes to thin walled heat exchangers, so I am very
    suspicious of my problem being a fractured condenser.

    I am after tips on how to test this condenser for a leak?
    Of course the two refrigerant connections are bastards and I was
    wondering if list would advise on a method.
    With punctures, one simply pumps the tyre and immerse in water looking
    for bubbles, I was thinking of a similar test.

    Regards
    Ian
