broken ac capillary tube on volvo 87 240 dl

Apr 19, 2006 1 Replies

I broke the capillary tube coming out of the ac thermostat while taking apart the dash. I see that it is only a $35 part, but i am wondering what kind of a job it is going to be to replace. I can't find any information on it in my manual, on the car i just see the end of it disapearing into the insulation around one of the ac pipes. If anybody has any experiance with replacing this I would love to hear from you. Thanks!

Hose clamp it and the capillary tube from the expansion valve to the outlet pipe of the evaporator (Low side, larger diameter pipe). Recover with insulation tape.
