Auto Air Conditioning & Heater Repair: 1998 Volvo S70 A/C Temperature, volvo s70, 1998 volvo s70

Question
1998 Volvo S70, non-turbo, 2.4L, with Climate Control (CC).

About 2 weeks ago, my AC stopped cooling to the freezing temperatures I was accustomed.  The driver's CC cools a little bit, but the passenger CC is just regular temperature.  I have it set at maximum cooling with Recycle ON.  I checked the refrigerant, and it is 24 - 44 when the compressor kicks on and off.  At maximum cooling, I noticed the compressor kicking on and off every 10 seconds at idle.  I just replaced the relay also.

Suggestions appreciated.

Answer
You stated "I checked the refrigerant, and it is 24 - 44 ".

I do not understand what you are saying here.

My first thought is that you have a loss of refrigerant (freon) from one of the A/C components and you will need to have the pressures of the A/C tested via a manifold set (A set of A/C gages) to verify correct pressures and volume of refrigerant (freon).

Let me know.
