I replaced my AC compressor, and also tried to install a new accumulator/dryer. I bought this one from FCP:

The problem is that the hose couplings only thread a few turns before stopping and it takes too much force to turn them. The hoses seat nicely with the new washers, but they wiggle around because the couplings cannot be tightened all the way. The fittings are clean and I even tried some PAG to lubricate the threads. No luck.

Here's a pic:



Anyone have experience with these units on a 93 240? Is there another brand I should try? They also offer the Volvo OE, but that's 3 times the cost. Maybe that one will work - not sure.

Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.
