AC low pressure location?

[Phil Croxley]

I want to locate the AC low pressure connection and I think it's under the scuttle tray on the drivers side, can someone confirm that please? Thanks

Yup, on my 2012 V70 it's bang in the middle under the scuttle plate

errrhhh, what is a scuttle plate? I had given up and assumed that mine did not have a low pressure valve and that all service needed to be done via high pressure at dealership. Am I wrong?

It's the big peice of plastic near the wipers that covers the brake fluid housing, behind the firewall.

the low pressure nipple is hidden for a reason , it is so you do not use it , you can get liquid gas into the compressor and blow it apart . just use the high pressure nipple for your service use .
