I'm curious as to why Subaru recommends replacing out the two hoses? I'm sure there's a real good reason but I don't understand it!
Anyway, my retrofit consists of replacing every single component EXCEPT the two hoses
I had leaks and corrosion so I replaced the entire system piece by piece.
I'm happy to report that the vent temps are nice and cold, usually around 40 deg F after the R134a recharge couple of weeks ago.
