How many port things is there for re-gassing the AC in a S70??

I found the low pressure port behind the off side headlamp but heard theres meant to be two..... a high pressure and a low pressure....

Any ideas where the high pressure one is?

Pic showing where the low pressure thingy is....

Just looked at mine. I've only got the one. Normally both are together.

BTW like the orange detailing. How have you done it? Powder coating?

Hi Fraz

Just had mine tested and regassed at Falkland Performance and the boy mentioned that as it is a low pressure system it only has one and not 2 so takes slightly longer to do.

What a difference it has made as my system was approx half empty.! Probably not been looked at since it left the factory.

Stiff nips and dry eyeballs now.!

IMO: Any detailed info like this is good to have on the forum, slightly late or other wise as so much searching of previous posts goes on, it is of great value to the forum.

Red arrow showz where I used to re-gas.... Wee port thingy behind the headlamp... Where your arrow points is to a wire with a sensor plugged into ;)

Great diagram. Had re-gas after leaking valve identified. Thought "That's great, not the evaporator". gas gone again now, so I'm expecting expense!

On the P2 series cars it's under the coolant reservoir container.
