A/C fittings? Replace?

Postby jules » Tue Sep 26, 2006 10:21 am

One of my A/C fittings is leaking.
Does anyone know if I can buy/get fitted a 90degree elbow and ferrule, rather than buying the entire hose?

Thanks

Bugger. Whole new hose needed and regas. A probable quick $200.00 gone.

Is there such a thing as flexible AC piping (more flexible the stock anyway :D )? I'd love to relocate the existing pipig and the AC is getting a little weak.....

you could talk to an aircon mob about routing the line properly unlike mine which is a single line from the firewall to the compressor that looks like it's aweful close to to the exhaust manifold.
