Best off taking it to an auto electrician. They will change the hose, vac and regas the system and check it for leaks. If it is only the flexible part that has a hole, they may just replace that and crimp your solid hose back on...

you can get Pirtek to come to you and make up this new pressure hose. or a wrecking yard should have one .
Bods, are you sure auto electics do this work ?

 

[bods]

Most auto electricians I've seen are aircon repairers too... unless that's just in perth haha. I guess I should have said aircon workshop instead lol

Yeah most auto electrician workshops on the east coast do air con work as well. Some are better than others at it though... Some guys only really know how to top up the gas and aren't great at proper fault finding and/or doing repairs on the above mentioned type of problems...

As mentioned by the other guys will need a new hose made up/crimped on. Have it vacced out and charged with gas and leak tested.
Additional to that, if you've lost a significant amount of the refrigeration oil then you might have to get that topped up too. Don't want to wear out the compressor or seals prematurely.

Someone certified in working with refrigerant should do the work though as they'll have the know how and the equipment to do the repairs properly.

When looking for a place to get the repairs done, look for a sign or sticker that says they have an Arctick licence. This is the organisation that qualifies people to be able to work with refrigerant gases. Refrigeration mechanics and anyone who has anything to do with refrigerant gases needs to have a licence of some sort through these guys.

Of course if you have a fridgie mate then they could help you out too...
