Need A/C Hose

Maxo · #1 07-27-2010, 08:44 AM

Took my car in to get an a/c recharge and they said that my upper pressure hose was bad. The schrader valve was replaced and cross threaded at some point and now leaks. The shop indicated it couldn't really be fixed...
If someone has one let me know, my zip is 58078. I'd like to get it asap, the temp was in the 90's here yesterday!

I don't have one, but what year is your car. The hose is different across the years.

The car is a '92. Are you saying a later model a/c hose won't work?

A later model A/c hose would be preferable so that you could charge with r134a instead of R12 and an adapter.

Is that the only difference Mike?

I'm not sure what years are different, but there are different types of fittings used where the hose attaches to the firewall.

On my 92, it has a fitting held with a bolt, similar to the fitting on the compressor. Ben's 95 had a flare nut/compression type fitting on the firewall. I don't know if this coincided with the change from r-12 to r134??
