Well, after putting a new AC compressor on my 88 duke Fiero, and enjoying nice cool air for a while, one of my compressor hoses has sprung a bad leak. I was coming home from work yesterday when I noticed a little smoke coming from the right side engine vent. I turned off the AC and the smoke went away. It turned out that AC compressor oil was spraying from the bad hose onto the exhaust. Like I said, a bad leak. Nobody sells hose sets for 88 dukes anymore, so I was wondering if heater hose could be used to make a repair. Or can you buy AC hose as just hose by the foot to make repairs?

Yes, Hoses can be fix. Air con and hydraulic hose shops should help you.

Update: I got a hose assembly from a GA Fiero Club member who had converted an 88 coupe to V6, so he didn't need it anymore. So far it's holding fine.
