Mystery hose leaking? in 940 AC system

Hello,

Learning more about my 940, but a novice.

The picture attached shows a hose between two aluminum (?) tubes at the front of the engine room. It looks like the hose is wet. As I can see, one end is connected to the AC compressor and the other goes to the radiator.

I'm guessing it's a leak. But I don't know what to call this hose to look for replacements (assuming it needs replacing). Any advice?

Is that the hose that goes back to compressor? If so, then it is the compressor discharge hose. It does like it leaks. You will likely have to get that one repaired. Some NAPA stores do hoses or could tell you who does. They repair them two ways. SOmetimes they can cut the crimp-clamp sleeve and take off old hose and replace hose and use new crimp sleeves. SOmetimes they cut the metal line and weld a barbed fitting on and replace hose section.

Have you seen a lift like this?

I didn't look. New Asian Parts Affiliates? Need Auto Parts Anurak?

I've seen lifts like that. One of the choices in the Volvo Personal Service setup. If you search about car lifts there are some new arrangements. I was in a shop where they had portable twin post lifts. That looked scary to me.
