I am trying to replace the air con pressure switch on my 2008 vrs, is it best to pull the plug off before trying to undue the pressure switch. Not finding it easy to remove plug top.

 

Cheers Tony

Yes or you will dogknot the cables & probably break them, they may well be corroded anyway.

 

Find a similar connector in an accessible location, probably the MAF sensor and practice on that to perfect the art of removal, normally you have to push the connector home and keep pressure on it to release the latch, if you can even work out how to release the latch that is.

 

I have spent more than a year of my life struggling to remove inaccessible VAG connectors and several years repairing/bodging them after I have broken them trying to remove.

What are your symptoms Tony? I changed mine and didn't make a difference. Going to check see if the cable has power later

Hi the you for the  video, was doing it completely wrong. I have now changed the sensor and works ok now cold air in the cabin. My symptoms were had a re-gas and worked for a couple of days then stopped checked that the pulley screw was ok so changed the sensor.
