Hey guys, Has anyone replaced their AC line? I mean the rubber portion of it? I called the dealership and they want $800 for the job!! Is there anyway to do this myself and how to remove the hose? Thanks for any help...

 

Is that hose actually rubbing?

 

Why are they charging you if it's clearly a design flaw? That makes no sense to me.

 

Call your local Ac shops , most of them repair ac lines/hoses for about $40 !

 

1. Is the hose leaking? If not, I would band it (put metal sleeve over it and clamp it).

2. That is a large gap for the belt to move to the hose - are your engine mounts bad - moving the engine too far?

3. I would just buy a salvage yard hose and have any garage evacuate, oil charge, and charge the a/c system...

 

Thanks guys

Yeah its leaking terribly so I need to replace it. The belt ate into it and all the 134 leaked out. I actually bent the hose back away from the belt. It must have moved when I hit a deer. I figured out I can buy the hose replacement online with both metal ferrules attached for only about $15. Only thing I would need to do is crimp and evacuate the system. Dealership wanted $800!! Thanks guys
