I should have expressed myself more clearly...I know its on the a/c but I was wondering if anyone knew definitively why the doggone thing is so long. Ya know, like the cigar hose...it has a purpose for being, well, a cigar hose. I was hoping for a similar 'splanation for this. It's probably some attempt at German humor.
And, I have it on my wagon and sedan as well...and just did a belt change-out so, I don't think it's to make it easier to access from the top since you can only get on that thing with a wrench from underneath the car.
My guess is that Hazet or Stahlwille makes a unique tool that costs $96.00 and has something to do with this...
BTW a diesel engine that clean looks absolutely
OBSCENE!
