2001 V70XC A/C pressure sensor location

My name is Eric. I'm new to the forum so I thought I'd introduce myself. Me and my son just bought a used V70XC for him to take to college in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Formalities aside...the A/C blows cold for a while then turns warmer. If you turn it off for a while then back on it blows cold again. The seller gave me a pressure sensor that he bought but couldn't find where it goes. I'm not sure this is the fix but since I have the part I'll try it. My question is where is the sensor located? I've looked online but can't find a clear answer for this model year. Any help would be appreciated.

Not the pressure sensor, google 'a/c compressor shim' .

Thanx...I'll give it a try tonight.

Hi there Eric if you still want to replace that sensor you will have to get your freon refilled and in your model year its located on the A/C drier which is located on the left side of the a/c condensor

good luck

I'm pretty sure there is a Valve under the sensor that keeps the Freon charge but the chance that the sensor will fix your AC is slim

How do you get to this sensor on the drier, looks pretty buried?
