Title: 2011 FD Air Conditioner Compressor Discharge Hose Leaking
Post by: kimbosarnie on October 17, 2020, 09:42:11

Afternoon,

I have a 2011 FD i30 and have found the air conditioner discharge hose that goes from the compressor to the connection block to be leaking, from what I have read, this is a common issue?

Would anyone know the part number for this, and the best place to source in from, I am located in Perth, WA.

Pic attached of the leaking hose.

Thanks Again  :)

You could try one of the local automotive aircon companies, it'll likely be cheaper than buying genuine through Hyundai.

You could also source via a wrecker though you need to be sure there is no metal fatigue or you'll end up with the same problem you have now.

The leak is from the rubber hose part, apparently this is a common issue in the i30

If only the rubber hose then a aircon service and repair shop should be capable of fixing it.
