Today when I was about to take off, suddenly a big poof with a lot of steam and coolant on the road. Stopped og got road rescue to take me home.

Yes that one is defiantly the AC hose. It leads from the AC rad to the compressor. 2010 RR Autobiography 5.0 SC

Then the big question; is it worth trying to replace myself...?

It's a doddle of a job to replace, just a bolt on either end and from memory a fixing bracket at the Bottom of the engine. But you will need to re-gas afterwards. 2010 RR Autobiography 5.0 SC

Good. Hopefully I'm able to get that part quickly. Not the most common car in Norway. ----------------

If there are any other hoses on that system it would be worth replacing at the same time, as 13 years on a hose, is well past its useful life. 2018 SE SDV8 4.4 Byron Blue |
