I didn't get it from the dealer, one of those online for less than $40.

I actually used your video. but in that same location on my car it is the low pressure switch not the high pressure switch. and I ordered and received the high pressure switch so it does not fit in that location I guess S8 and a 8 are different

here is the one I have in the same location on the condenser and it is called a low pressure switch. I am still looking for the location of the high pressure switch on a 2009 S8

Default I Checked ElsaWin S8 V10

It's G65 high pressure switch.
Where did you find the info it's low pressure switch? There is only one high pressure switch that caused all the leaks and problem.


Cheers,
Louis

Yep, that looks like the one. Did mine over the summer. I didn't pull the whole bumper, just the three bumper bolts on the driver's side and got my arm in there.
