Depends on which model...changed on '01 and newer...but on older V70's it's right behind the passenger side headlight...look for a black cap that says either 6 or 9Nm. Unscrew it and there's your low side. There is no accesible high side.

Yep, if there is one seriously stupid design flaw in the v70, this is it IMHO. No giving a high side port so one can monitor head pressure especially when adding refrigerant is not only silly but could be dangerous. Has anyone added a high side port to thier system? I'm thinking of doing it but too many other pressing issues.
