A/C Pressure Switch -F129-

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2015 Audi S7, 2015 Audi RS 7, 2015 Audi A7 Quattro, 2014 Audi S7, and 2014 Audi RS 7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Switch pressures, removing and installing switches as well as switch arrangement and version. Refer to vehicle specific refrigerant circuit [For engine(s) CTUA, CEUC, CRDB, CGXB, CPNB] System Overview - Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific repair information).

This pressure switch has 3 functions:

1. Switches the coolant fan to the next higher level when the pressure in the refrigerant circuit increases (approximately 16 bar).

2. Switches off A/C system if pressure is excessive (approximately 32 bar), e.g. because of insufficient engine cooling.

3. Switches off A/C system if pressure is insufficient (approximately 2 bar), e.g. loss of refrigerant.

NOTE:

A/C Pressure Switch -F129- replaces the A/C Refrigerant High Pressure Switch -F23-, A/C Refrigerant Low Pressure Switch -F73- and the Magnetic Clutch High Pressure Switch -F118-.
