Hi. I'm new here. I just picked up a 2005 LC. My first order of business is replacing the heater tees and hoses. The hoses don't look terrible but I figure if I'm in there I'd rather make sure it's all good to go.
I've read multiple threads on the topic. I've studied the FSM and various schematics and am ready to purchase parts but I'm stuck on which outlet and inlet hoses I need. It seems that there are 2 part numbers for each of them depending on build date. One part for up to 12/2004 and the other part for 1/2005 and on. I checked my VIN at toyota and my vehicle was ordered 10/2004 and Date of First use is listed as 1/28/2005 so I'm not sure which I fall under.
The FSM diagram matches what I see under the hood. Parts drawings online don't match the FSM or vary from website to website. They don't specify the difference between the parts. I'm stuck.
Has anyone experienced this same issue? Can anyone explain the difference in the parts so I'd know what to look for? I'll post a picture of what my outlet and inlet hoses look like. Maybe someone with a 2004 or earlier LC can post a picture of their hoses to compare? Or a later 2005 model?
Thanks for helping a new guy.
