Help - FJ60 Rear Heater hoses leaking under truck (10 Viewers)

[Boicruiserloser72]

I've have found numerous threads on deleting the rear heater in the Land Cruisers, but I'd like to understand the why. Mine has begun leaking JUST as Fall weather and temperatures have arrived. I'd enjoy driving the 60 this Fall and Winter, and the rear heater really helps warm the whole interior. Can it be repaired easily? I haven't taken anything apart yet. Just beginning to research and haven't found any info on replacing the hoses. Only finding delete information thus far.

A lot of people don’t use it or want the storage space underneath the seat (FJ60). I’ve never used mine, but I did replace the hoses a number of years ago. If it is just the two hoses that is an easy fix. If the heater unit itself is faulty you’d need to find a new (if even available) or used replacement. HTH

Thank you for the reply. That is helpful! The heater itself does not seem to be leaking (so far). It seems the leaks are where the rubber hoses are clamped onto the metal tubing visible from under the truck.

I have kept the rear heater intact and often run only that one in winter. For the hoses, look at the follow thread post #17 and you will see the U shaped hose part numbers.
Good Luck!

Thread 'fj62 / 3fe cooling hose diagram ?'

Jul 6, 2018

Does anyone have complete diagrams with part numbers for cooling hoses on the fj62 with 3fe. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what goes where. I've tried searching and i own the 1988 toyota repair manual pub RM080U and it doesnt help

Did water pump / thermostat / new radiator and oil cooler hoses. Thanks!

I found some helpful diagrams on Spector Off Road's website, and will conduct some troubleshooting and inspections before I disassemble the rear heater. Upon closer inspection, I see there is a valve within the rear heater. I switched the valve to "COOL" in the meantime. However, I can see some visible coolant within the rear heater. I may be facing a rear heater delete after all.
