hi all,
i need to do the heater control valve and associated hoses. reading up here and hoping for a little help.
can anyone please help me finalize a parts list and strategy please?
parts:
1. 2’ of gates green stripe 5/8” from the local flaps? [not the 1/2” which is for the PHH or is it the other way around?]
2. then i just need the TWO /curved/ hoses in this diagram? i think i see:
87248-60480 is 87248A
what is 87245B in the diagram? 87245-60340 or 88245-60480? the more expensive one i guess?
3. any suggestions on HOSE CLAMPS please? i think i have all the OEM cotter pin deals. but i see a reference to totota spring clamps, toyota screw clamps and to a constant tension clamp (which i guess is ideal or only necessary if you use silcone hose?). i have a toyota dealer here and also grainger’s but can obviously order on-line if necessary.
4. 1 gallon toyota red.
install:
A. verify PHH was done.
B. top off coolant reservoir (?) with totota red?
C. replace heater control valve and hook up all new hoses.
D. er, - - start vehicle?
E. turn on heat.
F. leave heat on and check for leaks?
G. turn off vehicle and top off coolant reservoir again.
H. turn on vehicle and let heater run and check again for leaks?
thoughts?
