The high pressure fitting is not in the engine compartment
on the newer vanagons.  It is located under the plastic
cover that hides the hoses going up to the evaporator
housing.  That is the panel on the left side of the luggage
compartment.  Pop off the little plastic screw head covers
then remove the six screws to remove the cover.  You will
see the fitting in there.

Subject: A/C question...

I can only find one pressure fitting near my A/C
compressor - where's
the other one?  The findable one is within six inches of the
top of
the compressor.  I was considering switching to either
R-134a or
ES-12, but I have to find both fittings.  The Bentley manual
was of
little help...
