Replacing the whole line - it disapears behind the cabin air filter/heater box seems like quite a task. Anyone done that already? I am wondering whether there a fittings to connect a hard (aluminum) ac line - the I could just replace part of it. (Acline.png) Attachments ---------------- Acline.png (55KB - 0 downloads) | ||

I have wondered about the wisdom of having the R/D bolted to that spot. That part of the body vibrates a lot, especially on washboard. That could certainly explain a cracked pipe. | ||

Hi Alan, not working, unfortunately - its a crack along the pipe. From the flange to halfway to the fitting with the sensor :-) Edited by oskar 5/15/2017 1:44 PM | ||

Thanks for posting it. $50. But, if I consider that I now don't need to take half the car apart - then it's dirt cheap | ||
