Ever have that thought, ‘there’s no way CZcams will have the solution to my obscure vehicle trouble’? Well as a matter of fact, it does.
Mine as well!
Remove the battery first. I wasted so much time trying position the old clamps back on so I just gave up and bought new clamps. Thanks for the video because I saved hundreds!
I just did this today on a 2010 RAV4 4cyl. It took about an hour. The most difficult part was gripping the hose clamps to pull them on and off. I had to use a razor blade to cut the old hoses off if I couldn't yank them free. I used the original pinch clamps which is necessary as screw clamps don't allow for contraction as pinch clamps do. Pro tip: lubricate with coolant the inside of the hoses and wet the fitting they go onto before sliding the new hose on. It'll make sliding on easier.
This was a great video! I removed the battery before because I have worked on plenty of my cars and its just always easier. Thank you for making a daunting chore less stressful.
This is an awesome moneysaving video, thanks! Mine just broke on my 2012 rav4 limited at 125k miles. Side note I learned at the Toyota parts store while picking up the hose, if your vehicle was made in Japan (vin starts with JT), the hose needed is slightly different regarding size and is measured in metric. It's also more expensive sadly than the one needed for US manufactured vehicles.
This was so helpful! My dad and I just used this video to replace the hose on my 2012 Toyota RAV4!
Just did that on my moms car today , she should feel proud of me hopefully 🙏, thanks for the great video man !!! 👌👌
I was so surprised to find someone had the same problem with the Radiator hose and vent line.. .. thank you for your help.. great work... I just finished the job.. took only an hour or so... getting everything together and getting it done..
Glad it was not too bad for you. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the video this helped a lot! For other people I would recommend to remove the battery. Once the hose is in place let the car run for about 15 minutes while watching the coolant reservoir and add coolant when needed. Again thank you for the video.
THANK YOU. This saved me hundreds. The part number you gave was exactly right. Took about an hour to install. Mine broke at 130,xxx.
Thank you so much!!!
Think I'm at ~110k. seems to be a pretty common problem for the crappy barb to just disintegrate on the T-Connector.
Mine broke at 78,000 miles. The car is 13 years old and don’t get driven much.
Thank you! Helped me fixed my Rav4!
Great job, saved me some time.
Straight to the point!!!
Great walkthrough all the tips were very helpful
Very helpful. The replacement hose from NAPA has a different design for the vent hose, so shouldn't have a problem in the future.
What great video!! I am not mechanically inclided but due to all the tips, i was able to do it on my own!! Tip from Experience, grab 2 jugs of coolent as you will need more than 1 jug.
Yeah it takes 1.5 gallons and one jug is 1 gallon.
Thabks for the video... Just completed this exact job with the help of this vid.
Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching!
Just replaced mine, 2010 Rav4. The part you need is Dayco Curved Radiator Hose E72496. It's available at mose parts stores. I didn't remove the battery and destroyed my arms, remove the battery and save the headache.
Thank you so much for the video, helped me alot today!
thank you brian!!!!!! you helped me a lot. I had the same problem. you probably saved me $200 in labor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elaine Lockhart nice that some big saving right there!! Thank you for watching!
Very good presentation clear and understandable
Thank you!
Man that top hose kicked my butt. At the end of the day I had to brute force pull that. I lift heavy things for a living and it took everything I got.
Thank you. This was awesome.
No joke I snapped that nipple on the Forman hose and thought to myself “wtf I barley touched it”, I showed my wife and then she believed me. 😂😂😂 awesome vid and thanks for that easy to follow walk through. It was an easy replacement.
Thank you great detail in your video
Great video! Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much! Your tutorial was very helpful and easy to follow. The repair wasn’t complicated, but it sure was a pain! Those clamps are no joke. Should the coolant reservoir be close to empty while the car is running and then go back up when the car cools? My level kept going down, but nothing was dripping out on the ground or anywhere I could see, and the car wasn’t overheating.
thank you for a great video. I loved it.
My plastic pics broke for the vent hose as well thanks for the vid showing me
Thank you!
I appreciate my machanic so much rite now.
shelley mead he would be happy to hear that👍
Great video, thank you!!
Thank you for watching!
Very helpful...is there a lower hose in this model too? The shop told me upper and lower need to Be replaced. Thanks
I never use worm style hose clamps on any coolant hoses as they need the factory spring tension hose clamps so they can flex during the heat and cool cycles. Otherwise you will get leaks once those hoses cool off and then you'll wind up over tightening them once they are cold.
Great video....just one question....wouldn't you get air bubbles from not turning your car on and then taking the reservoir cap off or is that just for radiator caps?
Just replaced one at 110k miles on a 2010 I used two of the original clamps then had to use worm style clamps on the new hose because it had rubber cuffs on the ended where the plastic t connected to the hoses an the original clamps were to small
Thanks for the video! Is there an alternative way to get the reservoir to drain so I can refill it? Trying now to run heat and fanspeed1 & almost 15mins, hasn't emptied
Mine broke at 142k miles on 2011 Rav4. Checked at NAPA & O'Reilly's, & they only sell the whole hose (not just the coupler that I needed). And cost for the hose was about $50.
Hello, there’s a “yellow push button part” under a couple radiator hoses. Can u tell me what the name for it is please? Thanks
Great video thanks, just noticed mine broke. Is this part from Napa good enough or should I really buy another Toyota part? Part #: UNR 16037 Line: NAPA Cooling. Also probably best not to drive it to the store 5 miles away?
Thank you so much I would like if you show me how to replace a thermostat and thermostat hose go to the radiator I appreciate that
2012 Toyota RAV4 4 wD spark plug replac meant how???Would you help
Thank you sir..
Thank you for watching!
@@HowtoAutomotive Thanks for helping.
Highly recommend removing the battery, it makes it much easier if the bottom hose clamp is not easily accessible.
There was no 2.5 liter engine in the US model of the RAV4 until 2009.
QUESTION... Does the replacement part look any different that the original part? I'm just wondering if there's a way to tell if ours has ever been replaced.
On the Toyota I'm working on, the neck that goes into the engine block is lose, and pulled out, it just pushes in, is that normal, and how does that work, won't it just blow out under pressure?
Thank you for video it was helpful. I did have to remove battery which gave me more room to work.
Though the vehicle is now running ruff at stops and idle? Thoughts
Sounds like it has a misfire. I would start by pulling the engine codes and go from there.
@@HowtoAutomotive ok, I'll take a look. Its smoothed out over the course of the day. Though the temp gauge is still in the mild wasnt sure if there was air in lines stopping flow of coolant?
Best to find replacement spring clamps... the radiator pipes get hot, so fixed clamps can become loose.
THANK YOU! I was screaming.
you have the wrong part number, I went to the parts store and they gave me a small hose with a vent hose attached. I could plainly see it was the wrong size they could find the fatter hose but it did not have the vent hose attached........mine is leaking in the exact same place
Thank u very helpful. Can i use " peak long life coolant " for rav4 2009 ?
Sue Chu If it is green then I suppose you shouldn't. Better buy the pink one used by most Toyota's.
I've always used the pink one and never had problems so far. Mine is a 2009 too
Get HOAT coolant, because that's the type of coolant that this Rav4 is designed to use. Usually comes in pink. Different brands out there, some will specify that they're for Asian cars.
FYI... it took mine a while longer than 15 minutes to kick on the fan and then top it off... So be patient with it.
What do I do if the fans don't turn on after installation?
How do I find the part for that plastic connector that the hoses connect to i keep searching hut all the parts I have been able to find all say they are incompatible with my 2011 Rav 4 2.5L engine
Dorman OE Solutions Coolant hose connector
Part # 902-996
Battery way easier taken out and that hose to radiator is very hard to get off. Guy that changed my oil said thermastat is bad I ordered one but not going to put it in until I need too
Great video thank you. Our 08 rav 4 the upper metal tube is rusted out. What's the name of that part?
NJ salty Winters slowly killing our Rav 4 08 at 217,000 miles.
H B I believe that’s the thermostat housing.
@@HowtoAutomotive thank you. I should start replacing the hoses before they leak.
168,000 on mine before it failed. It was barely leaking. I didn't even notice it until I checked my oil.
This is the second time my 09 Rav4 is getting this part changed.
I think it's fair because I'm almost hitting the 200K miles mark.
Victor Galdámez you must take good care of your car to hit 200 K.
How to Automotive It's all about basic and periodic maintenance.
Thanks for the video by the way. I will replace this part as soon as I get it from the dealer 👍😉
Victor Galdámez That’s the way you do it. Thank you for watching!
@@HowtoAutomotive Our 08 Rav 4 217,000 miles everything original. Rust is our enemy. Rear disk rotors very rusty & plate guard.
H B still even with all that rust 217,000 miles is pretty good.
It’s really hard for me to remove the one part on the header
Ugh so I am so great ful for this video but I cannot get the bottom hose back on!! It will go halfway and that's it. Tried to put clamp on and call it good but it exploded off while I was driving. Help?? Top hose went on easy
I wonder is it a flaw in plastic or a symptom of intermittent engine running too hot ECT switch or waterpump or other issue
Bad engineering
How necessary do you think it is to replace the whole thing. I'm thinking about just replacing the vent line
jsnowbrien that thing is super brittle and I’ll probably break off and if it doesn’t break off now it will in the future. So I would change it
I just did my vent line coupler on a 2011 RAV-4, no need to replace the hoses unless they leak. The part cost me $11.
Drive to survive what part number did you use? I need to replace mine and I don’t want to replace the hose if I don’t have to.
@@jamesbailey3350 you have to replace the whole thing. it's only like $30 from advance Auto. I was having a hard time getting the hose clamp back on the bottom portion of the hose so I used one of the screwdriver tightening type like he uses. Take the battery out makes it ez
I have the same problem right now. Do you have to drain the radiator coolant? and if you have to drain the coolant, do you have to remove the plastic under cover to drain the coolant? Thanks
You don’t need to fully drain the coolant no. You can leave the shields on and then rinse them off with a hose afterwards. I do try to catch as much of it in a bucket and recycle it. You may need to check the front of the vehicle up to get something under there.
@@HowtoAutomotive Thank you so much for your response. Cool I don't have to unscrew the petcock in the radiator right? so just catch the coolant as it drains out when you remove the hoses? I'll do it tomorrow, I will let you know how it goes.
@@ansigarci3690 yes just take the hose off and catch as much of the coolant as you can.
I followed all your steps and tips, i had to cut the hose on the upper as well and had some new spring clamps which are easier to install, so far so good, you saved me hundreds of dollars. Thanks!!!
@@ansigarci3690 awesome Happy to hear that!
Has anyone tried this out on a Sport edition? I'm trying to make sure that the hose is not different for the Sport. Thanks!
I got the sport version. Same exact procedure
Did you end up getting your hose fixed?
Thank you for the video, mine broke at 125000 miles on it...
This just happened to me
My hose literally just fell off and btw it’s a new one
omg! mine is starting to leak at 185K kilometers!
"go under the battery" haaahaaahahahahahahahahaaaaAaaaaa save yourself the trouble and frustration and just remove the battery. Trust me.
Ur right. I tried multiple times with a razor and flat head to "go under the battery". But needed to remove battery and then used pliers with one hand and pulled it out with the other
So easy to remove the battery, idk why you wouldn’t
does anyone know how to get the stupid cover panels off of a rav4 2015? whoever thought that putting these things are was an idiot!
Does anyone have a link to a set of hose clamps,for this vent line, that I can buy online? I ordered the line and clamps but the clamps are too small.
Do not buy fixed clamps. Buy the spring clamps. Hose gets hot and clamps need to move.
The 06 rav4 is different from the 2012
Can't replace just the vent line since that is where the break is?
I would just replace the entire hose as preventative maintenance. It's just a matter of time before the larger hose leaks as well.
You used the wrong kind of clamp.
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
