Some sort of condenser? I looked into it a while back and never found a solid answer.
Good eye Alex. I thing a 45* hose end would work perfectly there. That, or lift and secure that wire to the lines above it.

And true. Do yourself a favor and get CAA. Even if you don't need it, you do. Why? Because you drive a DSM and they can be unpredictable. Or you're out treking around in your friends beater and it breaks down. They don't have CAA but as long as you're with the car, it doesn't matter. Tow his car and charge him $100. Gravy on both sides of the equation!
