SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Premature wear through of the A/C suction hose on subject model vehicles may be the result of inadequate clearance between the hose and the right
engine mount.
DIAGNOSIS
1.
Raise hood and carefully run your fingers between the suction line and the right side engine mount.
CAUTION:
THE ENGINE MOUNT MAY HAVE SOME EXTREMELY SHARP EDGES.
Adequate clearance for your fingers should exist. If clearance is inadequate and hose abrasion (rub through) exists, replace hose assembly with PN
3849636.
2.
If there is no abrasion, but marginal clearance exists, follow the repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
This procedure outlines the installation of a protective sleeve over the suction line.
1.
Cut a 4" length of heater hose and slit lengthwise.
