I'm not set up to weld here, so if I make the hoses myself I'll just be using beadlock fittings, essentially making duplicates of the stock hoses with new beadlock fittings and new hose. I know I can use non-metric hose, but wouldn't I still need metric threads on the fittings? |

Fascinating! I assumed it was metric all over. Thanks so much for the info. Looks like I'll be having a shop do it after all. I'll definitely see about having male thread fittings welded on to the fittings you mentioned. |

One option: You could have the fittings welded on, and make the hoses yourself with the Mastercool crimper. Or: send the hose assemblies to me (minus the rubber parts) and I will make the hoses. I just scrapped several hose assemblies, otherwise I would have one to rebuild so you would not have to send one. I am sure I can do it cheaper than your local shop. Get an estimate and let me know. The only hoses that do not need to be replaced are the small one going into the cabin from the drier, and the one from the drier to the condenser. If you are changing the condenser to parallel flow, the hoses will be different than factory. Also, I have a friend that travels back and forth from Oregon to So. Cal. Often. He could ferry the parts on his next trip.

When I looked at the exploded view for my car's AC system I couldn't figure out why some of the pipes and hoses were still showed joined. Now I know that those were crimped at the factory. Seems like a weird design decision, but what do I know? The "local" shop is a 6 hour round trip, so I'll probably take you up on the repair offer. The suction hose that attaches to the expansion valve was removed, but I have a used one in the mail. I'll PM you to talk about details. Thanks! |

I think I found all 5 factory-crimped locations on my ac layout.

If this was my car, I would forego the short hose going from behind the alternator to the condenser, and just go directly from the R4 manifold to the condenser. You would then only need three fittings welded, (1)@ expansion valve, (2) @ R4 manifold (lower), (3) @ low side pipe. Of course you would need to clamp the hose to the lower core support in at least two places.

I'd forgo the R4 compressor, I have a low mileage 79 300d, I first resealed the original compressor and it leaked around the can. I then bought a rebuilt R4 and it leaks a small amount of oil on an off also from around the can. I charged with Enviorsafe both times and the high side pressure does not exceed 215psi. It cools well but the oil leak is a problem waiting to happen. I'm going to convert to a Sanden compressor.

I'm all in now on doing this right. New Sanden compressor has been ordered. New 16x21" parallel flow condenser has been ordered. New hoses will be ordered from forum member Rollguy, as well as a mounting bracket for the compressor and a dual-relay upgrade for the fan. Used aux fan has been ordered, as has a new receiver/dryer and an o-ring kit. Installed another climate control unit as the "off" button broke on the old one. Still have to order a belt.
I appreciate all the information and advice that I have gotten! |

Best way to flush evaporator?
My shop offered to do the flush but I figure I should look into doing it myself. The entire AC system is being replaced except for the evaporator and the line from the dryer to the evaporator.
Should flush it from inside the car, where the expansion valve goes? Or flush through the line from the dryer? Any suggestions on which brand of flush to use, and how much to use? And I just blow it out with shop air when I'm done? Any tips, tricks, cautions or other info would be appreciated. Thanks! |
