How much work for a bypass line?

just wondering how much of a job it is to do

 

They gave me a 2800 quote at Toyota to do the line and the line and gasket only cost 300 so 2500 in labour

 

What bypass line?

 

Are you referring to the water bypass pipe?

Need a little more info to be helpful, bud

 

Yes it is the water bypass line

 

2.7 I assume?my 09 is metal, but it looks like pulling the intake makes it much easier.that said 2800 is highway robbery.

 

I'd almost think pulling the left front
wheel and the inner splash shield would make it much easier.theres a thread on here with the correct part number and a video I think.i could be wrong

 

Make sure that you get the correct updated Metal Replacement Pipe. 16268-75110 is the bypass pipe in steel, The gasket is 16258-75021.

I'm assuming this only applies to automatic transmissions?

 

Why would you assume that?

It has nothing to do with the transmission. It is part of the engine assembly. It goes between the Thermostat housing and the throttle body on the 2.7 liter engine.

I assumed based on some other information I read.....but that's why I came back here to confirm and read the other posts about it. I have a four cylinder myself and was just trying to get more info to see if this was a common thing (which it seems it must be if they had to redesign the part) or if this guy was just "unlucky"

Seems so far I am fortunate in this aspect and will have to see what happens.

 

You can also look and see if you already have a metal bypass hose or plastic...
