evinX Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I noticed a slight split in my PS feed hose, no leak but id like to change it. Following up on it, the hose is only available from Toyota with the complete hardlines. Anyone know where i can source the part i need highlighted in red? thanks, Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Isn't that the return hose...only saying as I think it's under less pressure and so you can potentially fix in a number of ways with regular decent hose. How does it currently join the hard pipe is it one of those crimped type joins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i could find the diameter out i could fab something up? Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Years and years ago on my UK spec car I had a pin hole leak in the metal front pipework and cutting out a section and just replacing with a hose and clips worked fine. if you have a syringe you can suck out some fluid and pop the hose off at the reservoir without any mess. Only issue I can see is if there are any sharp curves then regular hose of the correct ID can be pinched/squashed and reduce the internal bore, where as genuine hose comes in the correct shape ie with set in curves for tight/small radius bends.

Mike2JZ Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 The pipe you highlighted is the return. As said above, its not high pressure so you could probably replace the whole section of tubing easily, just cut off the fitting and use something else to secure the new hose in place.

evinX Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 The rubber pipe slips of the hardpipe, so will pull it off over the weekend, i have spare fluid incase i drop any for top up, ill take it down the local motor spares as they are pretty good.

mellonman Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Mate you would be better to go to hydraulic place for that pipe then a motor factors see if there is a pirtek near you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
