Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual / Refrrigerant R134a Servicing / Refrigerant Circuit General Information / Switches and Sensors on Refrigerant Circuit and Connections / A/C Pressure Switch -F129

Note

For switching pressures, removing and installing switches and switch arrangement and version, see vehicle-specific refrigerant circuit.

Refer to → Rep. Gr.87.

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 (232 psi)).

2. Switches off A/C system if pressure is excessive (approximately 32 bar (464 psi)), for example. because of insufficient engine cooling.

3. Switches off A/C system if pressure is insufficient (approximately 2 bar (29 psi)), for example. 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-.
