Hello,
I am one of the folks who has experienced the failure of the A/C hose where it
passes over the fan shroud. Over time, a hole is worn into the hose and lets
all the R134a escape. VW quoted me a mega buck repair (and wouldn't admit
that there is a design flaw here..).
I have successfully spliced the hose and had the system evacuated, recharged,
and lubricated. Nice cold A/C now!! For about 10 times less than the VW fix!
Just have to wait and see if the splice will hold....
Later,
Todd
95 GTI VR6 (now with A/C)
PS make sure to check your hoses and protect them before they blow!
