996 Pipe Under Car - is this damaged?

[stevett]

Hi All,

I was inspecting beneath the car (C4 manual 99) and found one of two lines directly below the drivers door to be crimped strangely next to a bracket (see pic). The pair of pipes are round and symetrical for the length of the car. Picture was taken on wet day and there does not appear to be any leakage when I inspected dry today.

Is this worth worrying/get looked into immediately given I have not scraped the car at any time since I purchased it and it was recently serviced by a local Indy?

I assume them to be brake pipes but happy to be corrected.

Thanks,

Steve

They are air conditioning pipes. This sort of damage is fairly common, usually caused by a clumsily positioned jack at some time.
