Okay, I finally got the part number (after squeezing my camera in that area).
I can see: 9217375, which shows up on FCP Euro for $241.99 -- yikes BMW A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose - Genuine BMW 64539217375 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...or-64539217375 Has anyone changed one of these lines before? I'm curious -- can a bad component somewhere else along the line cause a pipe to leak? About a year ago, my AC Stopped working, so I used one of those AC Charge cans. |

Need to take it to a shop so they can evacuate the system and replace the line

Unfortunately, the closest appointment times in any shops is in June, so I’ll have to do the job myself. There are no tutorials of anyone doing this on a bmw. What do you mean by evacuate the system? Like the refrigerant? How do you perform that process? |
