4KCSq A/C hose options

[Dave <dnevin@eagle.cc.ukans.edu>]

Hi all--

Just got off the phone with the local audi dealer pricing an
AC hose (compressor to condensor) for my 87 Audi 4KCSq.
$193. After I regained consciousness, I decided there must
be a better way.

I'd already tried Blau and The Parts Connection. Dealer
only. Anyone have a used one? Are there any American car
substitutes that I might be able to use (i.e. go to the
local parts jobber and get one for a 78 Granada).

BTW, I drove a Granada during driver's ed--and see, I ended
up with a quattro--so there must be something to this
Car-o-scope (although I didn't end up with one on mine--I
got worse I think--a Dodge Colt Vista and a VW Westphalia.
Having driven a prepped 510, I think it was an acceptable
alternative as the third choice). Sorry for the WoBW.

ANY ideas or assistance on the AC stuff would be a great
help.

Thanks,
Dave N.
