Im trying to figure out what type of hose this is.
Ob the passenger side of my 02' C4S it goes from around the fuel tank to the back of the car.
The hose has been damaged by someone who tried to lift the car..
Its not leaking or anything and I guess the damages have been done few years ago.
I just want to see if it can be problem on the long term.
I guess this is a heater hose or something but I prefer have your opinion.
This is the front passenger side just behind the front wheel.
As you can see its close to the car jacking point.
You'll need to pump the system out first, FWIW,, around here,, none of the
AC shops will refill systems any more without a full service and leak check.
I got these free, as "loaner" tools - from AutoZone (IIRC), but other auto parts stores have similar offerings.
You put down a deposit equal to the cost of the tools, which is refunded when you return them in good condition. Many useful tools are available on this basis - they have a catalog that lists them. Many fall into the "Used rarely - don't really want to own" category.
I had to do a full AC system recharge after removing & reinstalling my 996 engine. It was less trouble than I'd imagined, and the AC, previously a bit weak, now functions flawlessly - would give you frostbite if you let it.
I think I will try to change my own compressor and line.
The compressor is leaking oil.. or should I say was leaking oil so the seal is gone.
I guess I can not only change the seal but I have to change the whole unit?
While Im there I will also try to change the line if I can find a tutorial.

Thanks for clearing-up the question about tools.
If you are going to replace the compressor, dryer, expansion valve rings etc. go to Rockauto.com. I replaced mine a few years ago. The Denso compressor from Porsche lists for about $1,800. I bought the exact same Denso compressor from Rockauto, it currently lists for $265.79. I also ordered the other parts there, bought a vacuum pump and gauges at Harbor Freight and the Freon at a HomeDepot. Everything worked perfectly and the total cost for all the parts, tools and materials was less than $600, a third of the compressor alone from Porsche.
