Default vagged my a/c, "pressure switch open or short to ground"
checked the pressure switch, it's connected ok, so I'm guessing the system is just empty. I did see a rock impact site on the a/c radiator that looks like it might be a leak point. So the question is, is it possible to seal the a/c radiator or am I gonna have to get a new one?

Default What makes you think theres a leak at impact? Is there oil coming out?
If not you may need a new switch... 8D0 959 482B...

Default I have the same code, am going to try a drain/refill @ induktion, will let you know if it cures
my AC issue.

(My AC does not blow cold but the compressor seems to engage fine - high side pressure reads high.)

Default When you turn on the AC, does the compressor kick on...and does it load the engine?
I'm guessing your AC isn't blowing cold...or did I miss an earlier post?
