A/c condenser pressure sensor

[Johnny_tyson]

Hi guys
Im having problems with my ac system at the moment. Was told it needed a new condenser pressure sensor.
I have a w204 c200 cdi 2008 model. Does anyone know the location of this part? Is it a straightforward DIY?
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Under the bonnet, just follow the a/c alloy piping until you see a sensor with an electrical connector plugged to it, this will be the pressure sensor, it just unscrews without you losing the a/c gas due to a schrader valve being fitted below it. A new sensor costs circa £50.

Thanks for your reply

I tried following the piping as you said, but couldn't seem to find it. Is it clearly visible from the engine bay?

I'm not familiar with your engine bay layout but the sensor will be located somewhere along one of the a/c pipes, it may be in a not very visible position though.

Ok. Thanks for your help mate
