Selected User Reviews For TOYOTA 16268-75130 Engine Coolant Bypass Hose
7 4cyl Tacoma is on the verge of exploding. It's a good substitute for the factory-supplied inferior plastic line. Up until about 2012, this plastic line was known to fail on Tacoma 4 cyl motors. You can barely see part of it if you look behind the steering pump and ac compressor near the front of the engine block. Yours is already beginning to crack if you see pink crusty coolant residue in this area. Replace it with this metal one before it breaks, releasing all of your coolant in less than a minute before cooking your motor and leaving you walking. It wasn't a difficult job for a shade tree mechanic, but I had to remove the intake manifold in order to get to it. While I was there, I decided to change the coolant. It only takes 2 gallons of pink Toyota fluid. You'll also need a gasket for this pipe, as well as a gasket for the intake manifold if you remove it for the job, as I did.
The ingredients in typical American antifreeze will corrode the plastic and eventually destroy the pipe, causing it to leak and become brittle. This is an excellent substitute, and it is made of stainless steel.
Thank you for the perfect fit with the vin number; it arrived promptly.
Exactly what I needed.
