My car dumped all the refrigerant last night. After getting back home I found the leak to be coming from this connector above the front left shock tower area:

I have an appointment with the dealership on the 18th but I'm a DIY person (former B5 S4 owner). I'm wondering if replacing that switch is a DIY option and then go to an Indy for a recharge.

Thoughts or experiences?

To follow up on my own thread here is the part number you will need if replacing this: 955 613 137 03 or 1K0 959 126 E (my car had rev B). Took all of 2 minutes to R&R using a 17 mm wrench.

True test will be when I get it recharged to see if this truly resolved my issue.
