Has anyone had their A/C lines converted to barrier
hose which has a nylon liner and is better for 134A?
I'm having to make some custom lines for a Tdi
conversion, and I'm using a 95 Audi pump which was
designed for 134A, so I thought I might as well
replace all the lines and flush everything. Has anyone
done this?
