Air con pressure switch

[porksword28]

How difficult is it to fit a new pressure switch on air con? Mine leaked like a good un. Any help would be much appreciated

If it's like the Mk5 Golf it's tricky but do-able. You should be able to see it under the bonnet, drivers side near the bumper. It's hard because it's difficult to reach down there and very little access space. Need a crow-foot spanner. Other way of accessing is via bumper removal which is quite a lot of effort.

Cheers fella. Any ideas what size spanner?

You need a long extension bar and a 17mm crows foot socket as you won't get in with a normal spanner. It's not difficult at all.
