High pressure sensor replacement

[RobertJames81]

Hi all,
Does anyone have any advice on how to change the high pressure sensor?

It is impossible to get a spanner or anything on the thing to replace.

Only thing I can see is if I take the fans out which seems hard work to get the ac working. Can't get at the thing from the top of the engine because the sensors fat bottom provides over the bolt. Can just get a 17mm spanner on it from underneath but no room to turn. The gas pipes run right next to it so can't move them out the way either.

Happy to send pictures. Thanks

HI,

I replaced mine last year before I had my crows feet spanners, which may have made this a lot easier. I managed to get at mine from underneath with the spanner at an awkward angle. I didn't have much turning room but enough that I could loosen the sensor to the point where I could do it by hand afterwards. No other parts had to be removed. Mine is the PD170 engine.

That's a brilliant idea. Thank you.
