I bought the OEM retrofit kit from FCP Groton. Evaporator flushed, upon flushing condenser told by indie that high pressure hose leaking. Recrimped the high pressure line at the compressor and then told me it was NOT the hose but the consenser that was bad. Bought good quality new condenser off seller on eBay for $109 delivered to Hawaii - not too bad. Installed and will not hold vacuum.

Discovered low pressure tube from accumulator / drier is leaking down by power steering pump from rubbing against hot air intake foil covered pipe. It is no longer round but has flattened there and I am told this is the leak. Makes me wonder if my condenser was in fact leaking or if this is the actual leak.

Does anyone by chance have or have access to this tube / hose / tube? It is not too difficult to remove as the connections are accessable from the engine compartment.

It is a tube at the accumulator drier, turns into a hose as it goes under the engine across the splash pan and then again becomes a metal tube when it connect to the top drivers side of the Diesel Kiki compressor?

Or might is be possible to cut the pipe off before the bad section and have a hose made to connect there and at the compresser?

This job has taxed my patience greatly and become costly. Please help if possible.

Thanks,

Maui
