• They’re long and annoyingly expensive- they run front to back, as you can imagine.

    I’m not aware of any spares from non Porsche sources, but worth posting on 911UK asking.

    TBH £500 sounds cheap.

  • TBH £500 sounds cheap.

    The hoses themselves are £440 for the pair on design911, and I've seen them cheaper on eurospares, but can't use their website at work to confirm. Didn't include fitting - I imagine that's a couple of hours work and probably some other bits required as well. Perhaps that's a reasonable cost, just quite a lot came up in this service (rotors, coolant and oil leaks plus it needs new tyres and a bit of paint) and I'm prepared to hack the AC for a while .

    I'll have a look - I've seen lots of posts of people saying they 'fixed' the hoses, but I can't without the source of the leak. I need someone else to find and do that kind of bodge for me, which might escalate in cost...

  • Just a thought but if you have an air con guy, there system may be able to pressurise the cooling system to locate a leak. I have no idea if they can normally do this - as I said, just a thought.

  • Design 911 never include VAT until you try to pay- very annoying. They are also, in my experience, more expensive than going direct to Porsche with your 10% Porsche UK club discount.
