Air Conditioning Hose?!

[revilo]

I am trying to locate the part number for the air conditioning hose marked in the image below:

It is for a 2005 2.0 TDi A3 FWD.
I have been given the part number 1K0820721BN, but nothing seems to exist about this part number??

Can anyone advise on the correct part number/hook me up if you know of one of these for sale.
Also, any info on fitting/replacing the part would be appreciated!

Yes its a correct part number, shows up in my etka, £213.

For environmental reasons, you should have the refrigerant drained before working on the system.
Let a qualified place do it, that way if it leaks, they'll not charge to have system re-gased etc.

Thanks for the advice. Will there still be refrigerant in the system after my aircon blew it's guts in the car park yesterday?

Thanks for checking that .
I notice this part supersedes the part[FONT=Trebuchet, Trebuchet MS][/FONT]1K0820721AC, should I get the newer one, or will the old one suffice?
