How do I replace the Refrigerant hose?

Asked by Abel Aug 14, 2021 at 01:00 PM about the 2005 Volkswagen Passat

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My daughter ripped a hole in the refrigerant
hose/pipe that runs between the evaporator
and the condenser. I need to replace that
hose but don’t know how to access it. Do I
have to remove the front bumper and the
radiator. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You possible can remove the two bolts off the accumulator and swing it over to access the fasteners but you may have to remove the front fascia. I would also check to see if you can jack up the car with a jack and jack stands and access it from underneath. Be Safe!
