source and part number for rear heater hard lines?

[ellner357]

Well the lines that go from the front to the rear heater have started leaking. My local dealer up here in Canada wants 190 for the lines! I am hoping you guys know better source that ships reasonably to Canada? I'm about to bypass it for now but I'd really prefer to fix it properly. But I don't really want to pay an arm and a leg for my passengers to have their own heater control lol!!!

Many have used rubber lines as a replacement. No reason it won't work, just keep it routed away from the exhaust. $20 in hose should be plenty.

That said, I bought the steel replacement lines from an online Toyota dealer.

Yeah i did consider that. For now it's just bypassed and they passengers don't have their own heater core. The hardship lmfao.

Where'd you order them from? I looked online I can't find them but I don't know have a mastery of these parts searches.

Seriously consider just rubber hose-ing it. The hard lines are something like $60 I think, and the hose and a few hose clamps should run you less than $10 from the local autozone or similar store. I think the rubber hoses are easier to install too. I have been running rubber hoses for several years now with no problem. They are just zip-tied out of the way of the exhaust, seriously nothing special and they work like a charm.

Well thanks. I'll probably go rubber. Maybe lol. Using hard lines apeals to me and I'm not even sure why lol. If I can get them for 60-80 I might just do it. But rubber I could probably run today lol! I'll post pics either way.
