Need A/C Hose

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.

Re: Need A/C Hose

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

Re: Need A/C Hose

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

Re: Need A/C Hose

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??

Ah, I stand corrected. I was not aware of a difference at the firewall.

Maxo, I believe I have one of these hoses. LMK if you are still in need and I will check tonight for it.

Re: Need A/C Hose

Subaruparts doesn't have an a/c illustration for the '92,'93 years but I think my hose looks like the '94 and up illustrations (with just a bolt at the firewall).

@Mike621, I still need one.

Re: Need A/C Hose

IIRC, my lines are a flare nut and a fitting, and it is a '92. I will verify this when I get home and let you know.

If you have the bolt in style at the firewall, I do have one. I will unearth it tonight after I get home and check it.

Re: Need A/C Hose

A week ago I ordered the hose for a '92 from Subaruparts.com, and received it. Now it is no longer offered. Subarupartsforyou.com in CT only offers '93 and up.

Gene, that does sound somewhat likely, unfortunately.

However, I always check with my local dealer and with Annapolis Subaru before I believe that it is unavailable.

Re: Need A/C Hose

I would think that you could take your old one to a hydro shop and have one made using your old fittings. Wouldn't see why they couldn't make one.

Re: Need A/C Hose

Mike, I just verified that I do have the hose that is bolted to the firewall. Please PM me with price to 58078 if you find one.

It doesn't seem that it would be too hard to fab a hose for this application, for a specialty shop anyway...

I'm probably going to need new o-rings, what materials can I not use? There's a place nearby that sell a wide variety of these and there's always the dealership.
