Does anybody know where the low pressure switch/sensor is on the aircon system?

[TheBoy]

On A/C pipe near rad.  The switch itself is pretty reliable, far more likely to be a (lack of) refridgerant problem

 Ok, its bloody odd I only had it re-gassed in Oct and it packed up by Dec.  

I've checked the whole system (that I can see) and there is no trace of dye anywhere  

The guy pressure checked the system for about an hour and there was no loss, he said if was was a leak it would have showed up in that time by a slight pressure drop.

I'm really not going to waste another call out fee until I've made sure the switch is working.  I suppose it could be the clutch how can I test this or loop it so it should run?

Bloody annoying £70 possibly wasted

Live data, iirc, can tell you if its over pressure or under pressure (I'd need to double check).

I'll wager a pound its got a leak...

Yer I bet but where?

Yer I bet but where?

condensor is favourite

[Techno]

I'm guessing you cant see that?  

Where is it and how do you get at it do you know?

My leak was the compressor.

The condensor is the 'radiator' infront of the main cooling rad.

I've checked all around that no dye

Hmm cant say I've completely checked this but I will do.

I've checked it and I can't find any dye traces?

I thought the dye they put in was UV sensitive - i.e. will only show up under a UV light..?  Half a chance that all the recent wet weather has washed it all off by now..
