I did a full R134a conversion on my 89 325i last summer including compressor, expansion valve, drier, switch and condenser. I replaced only one hose I believe on account of the others were over a hundred dollars each, only available as BMW authentic parts. The system leaks out over a week or so and the dye/sniffer didn't help. I'll be pulling the motor soon and this will be the time to replace more lines.
Always game to tool up, I see very nice Mastercool crimpers being sold for the price of one of the three hoses I need to make. Has anyone gone this route?
Can the hard portions or the lines be re-used, with the appropriate crimps?
