We have a 2018 XC90 T6 Inscription. Started off noticing the driver side was not cooling the driver while passenger was still getting some cooling. Then a week or so later, not cool at all. For temp relief I shot refrigerant in and it worked fine for a few weeks. Now its not cooling again. So most likely a major leak. I've read various posts from many with the same issue. Some dealers tell them its the condenser, some compressor, some say both or something else. I realize that the entire dash may have to be taken apart to get to the components. I dont want to be taken for a ride by the Volvo stealer, so I wanted some input from you guys with this issue, what did your dealer charge you and what parts did they replace?
Personally, since many seem to have this issue, Volvo should be recalling it or fixing it discounted. But since not a safety issue, they aren't required to do a recall. It's disappointing a 4.5 yr old car with 60k miles would need to replace the AC system. These are supposed to be sealed and should never need refrigerant for a long long time. I think my next car will be a Lexus.

Should all 3 of those been done together or are they just throwing more parts at it to see what sticks? Either way 10k to get cool air again is crazy, i would have just traded it in
