A/C Pressure Switch -F129-

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi SQ7, 2024 Audi Q7, 2023 Audi SQ7, and 2023 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This pressure switch has three functions:

1. Switches the radiator fan to the next higher level when the pressure in the refrigerant circuit increases (approximately 16 bar (232.06 psi)).

2. Switches off the A/C system if the pressure (approximately 32 bar (464.12 psi)) is excessive (for example, due to insufficient engine cooling).

3. Switches off the A/C system if the pressure (approximately 2 bar (29.01 psi)) is insufficient (for example, loss of refrigerant).

NOTE:

The 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-.
