Title: Aircom pressure switch
Post by: exodus_ste on July 23, 2013, 12:06:25 pm: Hi guys

After a failed attempt at regassing it seems i need the pressure switch just behind the radiator on the offside. Can anyone tell me the part number so i can get a price for one?

Cheers :happy2:

Later revisions may be available. VW would also be able to provide that if you asked them.

Also worth checking the valves under the plastic caps where the gas goes in, my A/C stopped working again and found these bubbling the gas out :surprised: just ordered via TPS and they are £8.20 each

Well... it will show up as a fault when your coolant level drops. They usually leak.. as opposed to the sensor itself being faulty.

If you scan your car you will have a fault in your HVAC section...
It's normally an electrical sensor failure rather than anything which would effect coolant.

They usually leak mate... ended up with no gas in the system and A/C not working
