<center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v399/tmehling/Audi/Bomb.jpg?t=1172680406"></center><p>A PO of my car was in an accident. The left front of the car was hit. The shop that I bought it from did most of the work, though I am still working out a couple of issues.

I have to replace the washer res since there is a hole in it. Last night I wrestled it out, and discovered the the bomb really isn't in the right place. The lines were bent towards the center of the car from the accident, and the whole bomb was pushed right as well.

Can I bend them back, or should I get new ones? Where would I get new lines?

Thanks,
Tom

pay for shipping and I'll get you one that doesn't have bends in the lines

is the reciever/drier for the A/C system, and no the lines really can't be bent back. The bomb is against or near the firewall, by the steering rack, iirc.

Actually underneath the frame rail on the driver's side

tpierce

sounds familiar, all he needs to know is that it isn't right above the i/c

D'oh! Thanks!

that's why we are here. If your a/c works good, i wouldn't worry about it

Then to replace, I would have to have the A/C system "drained", replace the lines, and have the system re-charged?

unless your car has been converted, the a/c uses R12, which isn't produced any more and is getting very expensive if you can find a place to do it. If you are going to do it, it's the perfect time to convert it to R-134a.

I would worry more about having no fender liner.
