I remember reading on here about 996 air con hoses leaking and then being predictably expensive to replace (@Dammit probably).
I'm facing that at the minute - the garage has told me they're both (pressure and return) leaking and they're about £500 to replace, then more to fit, to service the Aircon and refill etc. In my head, a leaking pipe can be patched, but not sure if trying to find it and then fix will be one of those things that ends up being more expensive.
I've not seen them yet, and don't know how they found out they're leaking - I don't believe they've been jacked on, as that would have shown up in previous services.
Are there any reasonable alternatives to replacing the hoses?
