Are heater T’s still an issue with 200’s?

[paulunm]

Can anyone confirm the two hose assemblies that have the two T's are the following part numbers?

87209-60C01

87209-60C12

Sure looks correct and shows fits a Land Cruiser.

So I was looking to buy the above parts from Bell Lexus for my 2008 LX but only a few of the hoses need to be replaced. Has anyone found non-OEM heater hose that is an acceptable alternative?

Sorry for the delay.. those do appear to be correct per the system I have access to.

The tight bends would have me concerned any aftermarket hose will kink unless it is also pre-molded into the bends or you do the stainless spring inside the hose trick. Plus unless the wall thickness is exactly the same, your spring clamps won't have the correct tension and you'll need to go to screw clamps.. which are objectively worse in this application.

Also I think the point of the assemblies is all three of the hoses on each do actually connect to the heater-T.. so if the goal is to replace the rubber parts that have potentially degraded along with the plastic T.. you'll need to do the whole thing.

These hose assemblies are like $70 each, I see no reason to cheap out with aftermarket hoses.

If you want to save money, just replace the Ts and leave the hoses alone.
