the cable next to it is the clutch cable and i belive is somehow the cause of the hole.

the next one shows where the pipe goes into at the dash end, if you could give me any advice/part numbers i would be very grateful, also if better clearer pictures are needed i can take some more,
thanks in advance.

Hi mate,

i do vehicle air con for a living. what i suggest is to call your local saab dealership or pop in and ask for a diagram of the air con pipework layout, they have this information readily available.

From this you should be able to identify your part, get your part number and then get a price accordingly.

Hope this helps you out

Not really, the right way to find a/c leaks to to put dyed gas into the system. Not something you can do yourself.
