That's rather unfortunate then. Most people just swing it out of the way. Is the condenser still intact or has he also destroyed that?

I suspect Prestige probably cut the hose to save the condenser hence why they don't have any. That hose is specific to the V6 so I don't have one either.

I can ask a couple of contacts in Germany if it would help although the situation may be the same with them.

I'm not sure how a hose specialist will be able to help if he cuts the nut off as they won't re-swage a used hose so you'd have to cut the compressor-end fitting off, acquire a new condenser-end fitting (maybe from another model which comes apart more easily), and then swage a new R134-compatible hose on to the two fittings. Non trivial.
