No worries! With a 60,900 KM run, it's pretty normal to encounter such problems. My S60 was also around similar mileage when this ordeal happened. Regarding your query about more details, I suppose it'll help to know whether you noticed any unusual noises or weird smells when you turn on the heating or cooling? Also, do check the refrigerant level in the AC, sometimes low refrigerant can also lead to insufficient cooling. It may need a top-up or there might be a leakage which is common. A system recharge at a local garage can usually sort this out. For my case, the air quality sensor was alright, it was the wiring part that was messed up. One tip I got from my mechanic is to look for any visible damage to the AC lines or sensor cable, could save you a few bucks in diagnostics at the workshop. Anyway, these are pretty much shot in the dark. I definitely recommend getting it professionally diagnosed if it continues to give you trouble. Hope this helps a bit more!

Thanks a ton! I haven't noticed any weird smells or unusual noises, but I'll definitely have a look at the refrigerant level. The tip about looking out for visible damage is a good one too! I'll get it checked this weekend and if need be, professionally diagnosed. Maybe it's time for a system recharge. Will keep you posted. Cheers for your help!

Hey there! I've got a 2014 Volvo S60, so pretty similar to your ride - just a different model. My car experience level? Call it "low-to-some". When I faced something alike, it turned out to be a line/cable from sensor issue. The workshop got it all sorted for me, costing me 95 Euro. Now, it's good as new. Can you tell me more about your car? I'll be happy to help further with any details I know.
