Blotto Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Anyone have this? Lower hose (6 headed hydra) rubbed against A/C line at the plastic coupler. Plastic lost the battle. I am guessing only Ford has this part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbuckhaulter Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I had this same issue with my 07 with 30,000 miles on it last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Saleen215 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I had 3 other places to look: brake duct hose rubbed hole in a/c line; a/c line being rubbed by Shelby/C&R radiator; and a/c line at the receiver/dryer being rubbed by the KR/FRRP strut tower brace. I was driving in 100+ degree in the south when the a/c went out. I had to wait to get all the way back north before I could figure out where all the refrigerant went. When I found it I installed a new a/c line, orifice tube, and a receiver/dryer. It was while I was replacing all these parts I found that there are multiple places that the a/c lines rub. I'm using plastic conduit over the lines at these spots and check them often. It did take 50k miles and 5 years before it rubbed all the way thru though.

Blotto Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'm surprised there aren't more of us with this problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiph Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Is the possibility of there being wear happening most easily seen from the top or with the car in a lift? Just have a bang-a-stang radiator cover on that I'll leave on if checking to see if there is wear happening is most easily seen from the bottom with the car on a lift.

89Saleen215 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 The a/c line is near the bottom right side of the radiator. If you don't have brake cooling hoses then it should be easily visible from the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
