Default A/C compressor on/off

Hi all,
I have reviewed the posts on the board regarding the possible causes of my a/c compressor cycling on/off every 5 to 10 seconds. So far I have reshimmed the clutch gap and had the system repressurised although it wasn't lower on pressure anyway according to the garage.
I now wonder if it is the low pressure switch that might be at fault. Could anyone advise me as to where the low pressure switch is located on an 03 volvo V70 and the part number so that I can order a new one.
many thanks
alex

On the 03 V70 it doesn't have a low pressure switch.
It has whats called an evap temp sensor located on the side of the air box on the drivers side.
I will have to look for the part #.
