Help...
The air conditioning on my 87 Vanagon was working fine (just bought it in
June).


I had been using the van all day and I had It idling (with the air on) and
I ran back into the house to get something.


When I came back out there was a cloud all around the mid to back of the
van. thought I'd lost the engine but it was running fine. It appears that
it blew a hole in one of the A/C hoses and it was refrigerant that made
the cloud.  I can't tell if it just wore through where it goes through the
frame or the pressure got too high in the hose?????


1. Anyone got a clue on what might have happened?


2. I can't seem to find any listings for these long hoses that run from
front to back...can I splice a piece in?
