HI.
Has anyone ever purchased a heater supply hose as shown?

Can't find it anywhere on line. Went to two dealers and they come back with 16282-65010. Which a search shows is not even close to the physical hose.

Gave them vin for TWO differenent 3.0 V6 4runners (a 1995 & 94). The parts catalogue comes up with hoses for the 4 cylinder. I'm not paying $70 for the wrong hose.

ANy help greatly appreciated.

 

I am not super familiar with the 3VZ-E.

Does the hose you are looking for connect to the heater valve?



Toyota's diagrams are a general representation of what the part looks like, but usually isn't an exact match.

It looks like there are two different versions of the hose: for 4Runners with the rear heater and for 4Runners without the rear heater, as highlighted in red below:




Yota Shop has a heater hose kit and it contains a hose that looks like the one you are looking for and shows the diagram with the included hoses that is the same as the one I posted above:

They also have the heater hose for 4Runners with rear heater, but I am not sure of the differences between the "with rear heater" and "without rear heater" versions:

Like I said, I am not super familiar with the 3VZ-E, but I hope that helps.

 

[This is the kind of response that just warms my heart. Diagrams, part numbers, prices. And most of all, a recognition that the tools we have are sometimes imperfect, and common sense is still required. Thx.]

 

Old87 thanks. I had looked at yota shop a couple of months ago, but will check again.

That hose does not directly connect (it goes thru the metal 180 with the rear heater diverter ) as shown to left of subject. Then thru that small 2" piece, then into the heater valve.
Thought about going over to dealer, have them order it (guy said if you call, we'll order it, but won't take CC over phone. Covid something??) Then if it comes in and is not correct, so sorry.

Of course AFTER I go back to YotaShop.
Will definitely post findings.
(Gotta create a build thread. Minus 5 this AM, maybe a good time).

 

Yes, you all are correct. Yota shop even had a picture.
Went ahead and pulled trigger there, more $$ than dealer (even McGeorge) but with shipping it was only another 5 bux.

For reference:

3.0L 3VZE 4Runner & Pickup Truck Heater Hose (1991-1995) 87245-35060

Which is listed on toyodyi as WITH REAR Heater.
Thanks again.
