I received a wonderful looking Volvo sourced AC hose from FCP Groton this week. It was in a sealed bag, Volvo labels all over it, made in Poland. It even had soft rubber covers over both ends of the hose fittings. But when I removed the rubber covers, I saw a rather large quantity of metal shavings inside the hose/pipe ends from where they cut the ends to size. There were enough shavings that it could have done damage to the compressor, so if you are replacing a hose, inspect for shavings and flush as needed.

The hose I replaced runs from the back of the compressor to the accumulator (runs over the valve cover (1992).
