Hi all,
Long story short, went to turn on my air con the other day and did not know that the hose that carries through the A/C gas was rubbing against the a belt in the engine (was wondering what that grinding sound was).

As a result, there is now a hole in it and the A/C gas leaked out.
Would anyone happen to know the part number for this at all - I'm trying to get it from Rosenthal Mazda.

Thanks in advance guys!

there are at least 2 ways to do this. 1. got to the local a/c fitter- are you going to gas it yourself 2. ring Mazda or go and see them and check the price and the part nbr. I am not sure of this item but they do make hoses. First place I would go is around the corner to the a/c specialists. At this time of year you may not even see an item from USA till after Xmas.

Thanks for your reply! Going to get it re-gassed at a mechanic but wanted to replace the hose myself to save money on labour. I did end up taping it temporarily with silicon tape (quoted to withstand 700 PSI) but think it's best to replace the hose itself.

Thanks, I will ring Mazda and check out the local A/C specialist!

Hang on, firstly there should be no AC lines going anywhere near any belts.
Secondly, wrong section to post this question in.
