Heater hose (lower)- RHD 940T with aircon 1996
This part is apparently NLA at Volvo - and Classic Swede (Dai Brace) says he cannot source new ones OEM or pattern.
Is there a standard work-round? So far the best option seems to be long flexible hose and try not to kink it on any bends. Open to suggestions.

Hose!
Many thanks - what an eyewatering price!!
If I'm going to spend that much it might well be worth getting a heater control valve at the same time.

The correct part for RHD is 3507447. They were still available OEM the last time I needed one.
Alternatives I have thought of, but not tried, include: Finding a similar shaped hose from another Volvo / vehicle. One half of it is just a generic 90 degree bend. Using and attempting to shape/form generic 5/8" heater hose. Possibly with heat and a spring. Possibly with these. http://www.gatesunitta.com/en/unicoi...bending-system Using generic 5/8" hose and making the bends out of 1/2" copper pipe. Using this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353349957331 |

I cut an upper hose and made it fit as a lower one. There are enough bends and length to make it work if you place them side by side it's easy to work it out. No issues since install 3k miles ago.
