Hi All,

Need some help with an A/C hose.

The high pressure hose from my A/C compressor to the front of the van has
been burned from the engine fire.  All my R134 is gone.  I only found this
out since I've got the engine running and could not get the compressor to
cycle on.  I checked the high pressure switch in the D pillar and it showed
no continuity.  When I bypassed the switch, the clutch engaged.  I could
hear this swish/gurgle noise and traced it to the burnt section of hose.

So where can I get a replacement hose?  I don't know if this hose has been
customized, since this is an Eurovan/Audi 5000 (I5) engine swap.  The hose
looks newish compared to the return line from the front condenser.  What are
my options here?  If I have to make a new hose or repair the one I have,
anybody know of a shop on the peninsula in the SF Bay Area?

Thanks.
