I developed a leak in my accumulator/dryer-to-compressor hose where one of the aluminum sections crosses over another hose (fitting) close to the compressor. I suspect this has been a long-recognized problem since the replacement hose I just received from eEuroparts has a much different composition. The Swedish Auto Parts website mades reference to "AC Hose Drier to Compressor redesigned w/different routing due to OE hose issues" for their replacement hose. It appears that the new hose must route from the accumulator/dryer back along the firewall, then down to the compressor. The old hose routes from the accumulator along the passenger-side wheelwell, down below the radiator, then up to the compressor.

Rather than guessing on the route for the new hose, can anyone provide a preferred path for it. Maybe someone is aware of a drawing somewhere which shows the recommended route.

Thanks in advance.
Ron
