This splice is in the accumulator hose 100750.

The system has pressure in it, but not enough to trigger the compressor. I'm guessing this is less than ideal. I've replaced the compressor hose 100748 before on 3205 by sliding it up the frame between the frame and body, but something tells me the accumulator hose would be a lot tougher given the heater core hard lines run the same length. I'd have to run it front to back given the shape of the adaptors on either end.

Thoughts?

Use our line kit section that feeds through the frame easily and crimps into place on car. Email me when you get a chance!

I would definitely replace that hose, that is not a proper splice. You should also replace the hose from the condenser coil to the accumulator if you haven't already. The two-piece hose set-up is also a good way to go.

I have a massive parts order from Toby on its way north and he threw in a NOS hose. The car is still r12.

Thanks for the help guys!
