Audi A4: A/C Refrigerant High Pressure Switch -F23-
Note
Switch pressures, removing and installing switches as well as switch arrangement and version. Refer to vehicle specific refrigerant circuit → Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; Rep. Gr.87; System Overview - Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific repair manual).
Function:
Switches the coolant fan to the next higher level when the pressure in the refrigerant circuit increases (approximately 16 bar (232 psi) ).
Magnetic Clutch High Pressure Switch -F118-
Note
Switch pressures, removing and installing switches as well as switch arrangement and version. Refer to vehicle specific refrigerant circuit → Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; Rep. Gr.87; System Overview - Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific repair manual).
Function:
Switches off A/C compressor when there is excessive pressure in the refrigerant circuit (approximately 32 bar (464 psi) ).
A/C Refrigerant Low Pressure Switch -F73-
Note
Switch pressures, removing and installing switches as well as switch arrangement and version. Refer to vehicle specific refrigerant circuit → Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; Rep. Gr.87; System Overview - Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific repair manual).
Function:

Refrigerant Circuit Connections with Valve for Switches
Note
Switch pressures, removing and installing switches as well as switch arrangement and version. Refer to vehicle specific refrigerant circuit → Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; Rep. Gr.87; System Overview - Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific repair manual).
- Different threads for switch on high pressure and low pressure sides.
- Only valves and O-ring seals that are resistant to refrigerant R134a and refrigerant oil must be installed.
A - Connection (soldered in)
B - O-ring seal
C - Valve (with O-ring seal)
Note
To remove and install the valve insert -C- when the refrigerant circuit is discharged, use, for example, an adapter from the Refrigerant Sockets -T10364- (for the tightening specification. Refer to → Chapter "Connections with Schrader Valve (Needle Valve)").
