I took my 06 Xtype to get the AC recharged, and they found a leak in one of the hoses. They do not have a replacement part, and I'm planning on buying one online.

They told me it's the hose between the compressor and the condenser. When they showed it to me in place on the car, it seems to be where the metal hose bends in the lower part of the bumper and it rubs up against something there; causing the hole over time.

Would this be Item #9, the "compressor hose" from the SNG parts manual?

9. Compressor Hose
To VIN E58862 C2S27012 1
From VIN E58863 C2S45017 1

Thank you for the diagram, I found it in the manual.
I am asking for assistance in identifying the correct hose. Are you suggesting it's the one identified in red? Does this hose go into the lower part of the bumper?

 

The highlighted one was simply the one I chose on website to look @ that particular part.
