well, not quite.....my 87 190D 2.5 N/A was recently converted to R134 and a replaced condenser, new CCU and a host of smaller items by a very good indy here in Denver. I simply didn't have the time and its getting HOT here! $2200 and 2

weeks later BOOM! My manifold hose on the pressure side gave out. I just got a quote for nearly EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS for a new manifold hose. Anyone have a better source for these? Any luck with a race shop etc. making a replacement? Gotta be SOMEONE with a better solution to the slightly higher pressure of R134 conversions.......Anyone? anyone?
