I was out working on the TQC this weekend, finding out how to remove the ECU wiring harness, and found a problem with the A/C system. I know a few of you are A/C gurus and can probably tell me what I broke. Yesterday I noticed that the small aluminum tube, a capillary tube of some sort was broken, at the point that it enters into the radiator type device under the dash, the condensor? Anyways this tube goes back to the vent sliders which are located in the center console and goes into some small switch type of device. One other event of note, a few months ago when I was out working under here, I did move this line and heard a short hissing sound and then smelled oil/??. The odor was strong enough to get out of the car. This must be when I broke this tube. So the questions are: What have I broken? What does it do? Is it embedded into the radiator thing or just slides in? What leaked out? What is the correct name for the radiator thing under the dash? Anyone ever replace one of the tube things? I was planning on leaving the A/C intact and functional, but if I have really screwed up in some high $$$ way, I might save some weight. Looking forward to the collective insight and sorry for the lack of technical knowledge in this area . - Dave Lawson dlawson@ball.com 83 tqc -> sans A/C??
