Tapes up line/hoses in front of radiator?

Post by Jackthelemming » Tue Jul 30, 2024 10:12 am

Hi all, currently doing some work to my radiator and saw these two lines that were wrapped in electrical tape on the ends. I removed the tape from one and there appears to be a hole. Can anyone identify what these are for please?

That is the air conditioning pipes. You can remove them if you don't have the AC anymore. It's about £80 to get a new AC condenser, which is what those hoses bolt into.
