You can check on this issue by moving the power steering fluid reservoir out-of-the-way. That’s just two 10 mm nuts. Feel around for a flat spot worn by that metal connector on the AC hose.
If you end up needing to remove the section I would recommend removing the air filter box (on N52).
Was just able to remove the lower connector by the firewall from the power steering reservoir spot but it was a very tight space for my arm. I had to reattach it underneath which probably gives a lot more access for removal anyway.
Tools needed are 8mm and 10mm sockets/wrenches and the torx screw for the intake, T25 if I recall correctly

Thanks, yes it is easy to do, just move the PS reservoir. I put the insulation on the AC line instead but I might move it.
The corrugated line is a vacuum line? It looks like wiring loom?
