I had an 86 Saab 900 and an 82 Volvo 245. The Saab AC units could never compete with the Volvo unit. Also these older AC units cannot be compared to the AC units in a one or two year car. The newer cars have systems designed to work with the current refrigerant and will almost freeze you. If you feel the AC in your 92 9000 does not cool sufficiently, make sure it is not in comparison to a new car. "Ken C." wrote: > I recently bought a '92 9000 turbo.
