From Toyota they cost a Kidney and the bottom half of your lung. Most guys replace with high temp thick water hose. Plus if you want to remove the metal ones for new you'll have to drop the fuel tank which is a biatch...

Hi Stevek,
Have a look in the Knowledge Base I am sure theres a "how to" in there on bypassing these pipes.
For piece of mind I did mine about 2.5 years ago and its still going strong

Re: heater pipes leaking
If toyota will do it for £270 go for it! My local toyota quoted me £2000!!!!!
I got it fixed with heater hose by 3S in the end for £230 (iirc) so for a dealer price that's a bargain!

Re: heater pipes leaking
The price just for the pipes £270 not for fitting.
think i'll buy some heater hose and do it that way.
