Has anyone had their A/C lines converted to barrier hose which has a nylon liner and is better for 134A? I'm having to make some custom lines for a Tdi conversion, and I'm using a 95 Audi pump which was designed for 134A, so I thought I might as well replace all the lines and flush everything. Has anyone done this? Be-cool Tom --- Roger Sisler <rogersisler2000@YAHOO.COM> wrote: > Check your blue "relase" valve. The threads should > be on the inside of the > stem. Not on the outside.
