Hey brotha, want to say thanks for the video. It was very helpful in me replacing the valve myself. Saving Hundreds of dollars in the process and only took 35 minutes to replace. FYI Rock Auto sells the part labeled a heater valve for $50 . Dealership wanted $140. Same part. Works great. Appreciate you.
Love this , ten months later and you’re still saving people a lot of money. Thanks very much, you are serving your fellow man with honor and dignity. hard to come by these days.
Here’s some helpful tips based on my experience: - 2020 Corolla SE at 55K miles - "Engine Maintenance Required" message comes on ONLY with A/C ON - No trouble codes stored in ECM memory - The valve had dried coolant deposits on the housing - Ohmmeter check confirmed the valve was internally shorted - The valve part number is 16671-F2010 - To replace valve, make sure engine is cool & remove the 12V battery - Valve is located just left of the battery between cyl head & firewall - Remove felt insulator and wiper cowl to give you more room to work - Remove the electrical connector from the valve - Carefully SLIDE the white C clips on the hoses to the side - Use a pick tool or small screwdriver to SLIDE the C clips - NOTE: the C clips stay on the hoses (do not remove from hose) - Do not break or lose these clips as they are NOT sold separately - Remove the coolant reservoir cap before twisting off the hoses - One bolt holds the valve onto the cylinder head and it’s VERY TIGHT - Use a 6-point socket and a breaker bar to loosen this bolt - After replacing the valve, top-off the coolant level in the reservoir - After driving, recheck coolant level as it will drop from air pockets - Message goes away after the new coolant bypass valve is installed - If you decide to do it yourself the total cost is around $100
It’s the same as the top clip. Straighten a paper clip, bend the first 1/4 inch to make an “L” shaped tip. Use this to grab the white C clip and slide it to the side. The clip stays on the hose. Good luck!
THERE'S A CURRENT LAWSUIT filed against Toyota for Coolant Bypass Valve issue. JUST IN! June 10, 2024 - A Toyota class action lawsuit alleges Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Corolla coolant bypass valve recall is needed because the coolant bypass valves crack and prematurely fail. Two customers filed the lawsuit for more than $5 million to cover 2019-2023 Toyota RAV4 and 2019-2023 Toyota Corolla vehicles with the allegedly defective coolant bypass valves. According to the Toyota class action lawsuit, coolant will leak and the engine will overheat, stall and fail. Once coolant corrodes the coolant bypass valve sensor, the valve will allegedly get stuck in the open or closed position and not properly direct coolant through the engine. Coolant can also allegedly leak into the Toyota electrical system and damage the components. Toyota allegedly concealed the problem, and without a coolant bypass valve recall customers are stuck with paying for costly repairs that don't fix the problem which will allegedly continue to occur. In addition, Toyota allegedly concealed from owners how the coolant bypass valve problem causes diminished vehicle values. And as repeated in every automotive class action lawsuit: "Had Plaintiffs and other Class Members known of the Defect at the time of purchase or lease, they would not have bought or leased their Class Vehicles, or would have paid substantially less for them." California plaintiff Geri Barrientos purchased a 2020 Toyota RAV4 in June 2020, but she had to pay for a coolant bypass valve failure when the RAV4 had 40,723 miles on the odometer. Florida plaintiff Michael Foerst purchased a 2020 Toyota RAV4 in January 2020, but the coolant bypass valve failed when the RAV4 had more than 41,000 miles on it. The plaintiff says he had to pay for the repairs. Both plaintiffs had to pay for repairs because the RAV4 warranties had expired, but the plaintiffs argue the limited warranty is "unconscionable and unenforceable." The plaintiffs want Toyota to stop its allegedly "unlawful, deceptive, fraudulent, and unfair business practices," and to recall the vehicles or buy them back from customers. The Toyota RAV4 and Corolla coolant bypass valve class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (San Francisco Division): Barrientos et al., v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. et al. The plaintiffs are represented by Nye, Stirling, Hale, Miller & Sweet, LLP, and Sauder Schelkopf. www.carcomplaints.com/news/2024/toyota-rav4-coolant-bypass-valve-recall-lawsuit.shtml
Toyota took one out of the german hand book and started producing/using parts with a certain life span. This should be a recall part consisering everyone with a newer toyota is experiencing the same issue at around 30-60k miles
You may have a good point. I’m at 70k miles and had to slide my debit card in the electronic money grabber for my $700 today and hand it to the big Toy
I purchased a 2018 Camry less than 10 Mos ago. Everytime I went for an oil change there was at least $800 of work to be done. Over 2k in repairs in 8 mos. My engine light came on and it's the valve/hose. They wanted $850 and of course my warranty didn't cover it as with any other repairs. I left in tears as I am supporting my disabled brother and don't have the money. I've decided to do this myself as I don't have any other options. Thank you for this boost in my confidence to get this done.
Glad you did the repairs yourself, have to save money. Those dealers charge so much money, now days can't even afford to have a car making the payments and the repairs.
Just Did mine today 6-11-2024 7:00Pm. Car has 49,000 miles. Part was $120 in my Local dealer. It took me about 30ish minutes to do. But somebody with big hands and arms will definitely struggle. Installed. Buttoned it up and tested. Problem Solved. Thanks for this Awesome video.
You’re a life saver 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I had this issue for over a year and the dealership tried charging me 500 to replace it 🥴 came across this video , bought the part from Toyota for $70 and fixed the issue within an hr. Thanks a lot man!
I just had the same repair done to my 2021Toyota Corolla , it has 37,938 MI. The dealer charge was $433 total price. The extended warranty covered the hole repair. I'm just hoping the rest of the car doesn't have bad parts like that.
Thank you so much!! Cost me $133 au. It seems like the plastic region gets corroded and water gets into the switch cos mine wasn't leaking at all. Engine maintenance required notification came up at 150000km and the vehicle is 3years old.
Sr, thanks for this great video ... i wish u had a rav4 cuz i have the same issue with mine and supposedly is a bit more difficult to replace that valve in the ravs. I have noticed this is a common issue with these recent toyotas with these cheap plastic part and the dealer should recall and replace that valve with no charge but as always dealers just want to ripp off its clients. Thanks for such good informative video 👍
You are welcome. Often manufacturers are aware of common failures with their automobiles and do nothing to resolve them. I think they only offer some warranty because of government intervention. In the 70s cars only had months worth of warranty. Before that as soon as you drove it off the lot you own it and all its failures are your problem.
2020 Rav4 here. Same issue, local Toyota dealer wanted $650 to replace it. $200 in parts, $50 in disposal fees (which is complete BS), and $400 in labr (which is also complete BS). Got the part for $50 and will be replacing myself. Thanks gor the vid.
I ended up with a 10$ oil change & a free point inspection at the dealership. So far i saved 100$ by changing my 2 filters. The dealership wants $1700 to flush all the systems. I believe i can do it myself for way cheaper.
The extra money is for renting a property, license to operate a dealer, salary for all the ladies sitting behind window do paper work, coffee, cleaning guy, salary, electric, water, insurance and much more
Thanks for your video. I will go to my other mechanic and buy the part so he may change it for less than $700+ that the dealership is trying to charge me. Thanks again and God bless you
Just got done at my Toyota dealer, 2020 Corolla SE with the same problem! $88 for the diagnosis, and will cost $610 to repair! #Toyota needs to put this on a recall list! 😡😡
I am happy I saw this video. My GF's Rav 4 is at the dealer now for the same thing and they want to charger her 800 dollars for that. Not happening!!!!!!
Same problem with 2019 Rav4. Thanks for video. $700 dealer charge probably due to dealer changing valve assembly which requires significantly more teardown to access hose ends.
I have a 19 rav too. Bought the part from Toyota today, 130 bucks. Not a car person at all, but going to try this myself tomorrow. Did you do yours? Was it easy? Not to give my whole life story, but I live in an apartment and gotta work in a parking lot lol. Hoping for the best
@@luisesquivel7691 I’m not a car person at all, but I did try. I had a buddy from work help me and he did it in less than an hour. Had to take out the battery, the battery shelf thing and moved some wires out of the way. It wasn’t a big deal at all. He had to scoot under the car to get the bottom hose un clipped, but re-clasped the new one from above Getting the little black fuse plug thing unhooked was kind of a pain, and getting the hose clamps off was a pain, other than that easy breezy Good luck! Hope it goes smooth for you
I went last year to a Toyota dealer to have my wheels swap, inspection, and oil change and filter. Five hours later I got the car back with a bill of $550. I was surprised since I though it was going to cost me at most $350.00. Then I saw they were charging 35% to 50% more for oil and filter. They also charge me 2.5 hours of work. After looking at my dash cams which were on, I saw that from the time the vehicle was turn on and put back it was 1 hour and 20 minutes. I also made a marking on the wheels and saw they never swap them. I asked to speak with a manager and explained why a 1.5 hour job took 5 hours and why I was being charge for work not done. He kept insisting that the mechanic did work for 2.5 hours and that my car uses special oil and filter so this is the reason for extra costs. I looked up the parts and found them much cheaper just 7 miles away. When I showed him the video that the mechanic only took less than 1.5 hours to do the oil change , filter, and inspection. He left and made another excuse that he apologize that the mechanic was working on another car at the same time and enter the wrong number of hours in the work sheet. I left with paying just $225. I'm never going back again. I wanted to see if this was a problem with the service department or parts also. So I called three days later to request the price of mirror cover. They gave me a price of $72 dollars, but even though I gave them the vin number, make , model and trim level along with color they provided the part number to a different color. The same cover was being sold between $45 -52 at other locations.
Dealers will always charge more for their parts and service not because they can but because they are the manufacturers go to. They have the parts directly from the manufacture and technicians trained by the manufacture. Also parts and service prices vary between dealers because they are private companies not run by the manufacture. It’s a good and a bad thing because you will run in to situations where they are abusing customers and your only ally in that situation is the better business bureau. With all that said customer pay labor times are established with best practices in mind by outside agencies that are mostly fair. That’s why I’m the video I asked why it cost so much? I am a technician and have had many instances where a labor time was more than the time it took to do the job and their are cases where it does not pay enough. As far as your situation goes I believe the service advisor should have let you know before you got the bill about the difference in price of oil and filter and labor. Also you are only liable for the estimate they give you when you drive in. They can’t say it will cost a certain amount and then just change it on you without your authorization. As far as how long it took is a longer discussion that would take me to long to type out. I’ve always been of the opinion that a dealer should be the NBA or the NFL of repair. They are to have the best people possible at every position to deliver the best product, unfortunately that is often not the case. The whole industry gets a bad name for those that do the job poorly.
@@knight3131 I have an old scan tool that would not pull the code. The code was pulled by the dealer. Most modern scan tools should be able to pull the code. Autozone will pull codes for free. Here is a video that shows the rav4. The video is not in English. czcams.com/video/E3NbnRJLCJI/video.html
Folks, I just have that valve replaced under warranty on my 2020 Rav 4. I think it is the same valve. Longo Toyota at El Monte, CA bill is $507 covered under warranty. Looks like a more reasonable price. They also change out the coolant judging from the part list.
Just in case this helps someone ,I just picked this valve up for my 2020 corolla. Purchased in Hawaii, made in Japan. My issue wasn’t effected by the A/C though. It would flash “engine service maintenance”, “check engine”, and “drive start control malfunction”, which caused it to beep, without being able to turn them off…when I hooked up the code reader, it threw a couple of codes for the valve, as well as some airbag codes. When I checked the valve, it turns out it was leaking coolant into the plug/wire harness which was causing the electrical to short, which is why it was giving me so many warning lights/codes. Shouldn’t be having parts fail at 30k miles, before even having to change the brakes..
@@user-pj5ff6xw4x yes, but that shouldn’t be the solution. Also, I’m no longer in Hawaii and their dealer is Servco Toyota (They have a monopoly in the state), and don’t affiliate with the dealerships on the mainland. So if you purchase the vehicle in the continental U.S., the warranty won’t be honored in Hawaii, and vice versa..
@@user-pj5ff6xw4x Also, even if I could’ve had the warranty honored, it was throwing multiple different codes, not just coolant bypass, so I didn’t know exactly what was wrong with it and they wanted $400 just to diagnose, which I would’ve had to pay if they found it was something that didn’t fall under the warranty.
Okay I gotta let y’all know…. PSA If you end up having to change the entire bypass valve system(valve and hoses) be prepared for a pain in the ass. Supposed to be easy job but hoses and clamps are in the worst spot!!!
Yes they wanted to charge me 750 for that Val Another quest can you get rid of some of the senor. I have 155000 I’m mostly hwy driving my suv was brand new I’ve the only owner. It is a rave 4 2020 I took it to my dealer. The the engine maintenance was mostly updates. And the coolnet valve. Thank you for this help me a lot. Diane
The problem is coolant leaks through the connector and shorts the wires together. If you unplug the connector you will probably see traces of dried coolant. If you replace just the valve by itself it will leak again. There is an updated part but it’s the entire valve and hose assembly.
For anyone wondering what the updated part is I believe it’s “ TOYOTA 2018-2023 CAMRY 2019-2023 RAV4 2.5L RADIATOR BYPASS HOSE 16260-F0010 “ Part number is 16260-F0010 which includes the hose. Don’t buy the non hose option. Get the whole thing. Should be under $100 shipped. I paid $80.
This Happened to my girlfriend’s 2020 Corolla, and we took it to the dealership yesterday, and they said it was that same part gone bad but it was going to be $750 . I told them to leave it alone,I’ll pick up the car and do it myself,$120 they charged to check the car.
I just had it done i was charged 1hr plust part plus diagnostic just over 300..i was told coukd be closer to the 700 your talking about had to do with the firewall ..im not a mechanic so i really dont know what they were talking about
They also wanted to do,brake fluid change,throttle body and injector cleaner,for another $800.00 after watching your video,and realized something i could do... called my wife that called while at the dealer to stop the repair on the cooling valve then wife wanted to do brakes and cooling change,dealer stated they still have to charge $200.00 for diagnosis the engine problem. Sucks
I have the same model and year with 40k miles with the same issue...this is definitely a RECALL ISSUE. Most likely this part is intentionally built to fail at around the dealer warranty expiration so that they can screw over the consumer with their outrageous repair cost. I will definitely not be taking my car to Toyota unless it's a last resort.
Manufacturers don’t want parts to fail. This is caused by increased complexity to meet emissions and fuel economy standards. Overall cars are much better than they used to be. Stay away from the stealer.
This light just came on this past weekend. Took it to the dealership and they said Bypass coolant valve was gonna be $700 and wanted to charge $180 to diagnose until I told them that was crazy and my sister works at another Toyota. They then only charged $80 for the diagnosis and gave me a receipt with part numbers and prices. They have the valve, water part # 16671F2010 for $126 and they also quoted Coolant. I think I will just buy myself and do it. Also, saw someone was asking about it being covered under warranty. Service manager said it's covered under 3yr 35k warranty, after that it's not covered under the 5yr 50k because it's not an internal engine part. Which is strange because the Toyota I bought it from told me different on the phone. Regardless, I still think $700 is way too much and will still end up doing myself. Thanks for the video.
@nickkduhh Unsure if this is something covered by warranty. I would speak to a service rep and ask if it would be a warranty repair. If they say no then purchase the part and replace it yourself, save yourself some 💰💰💰.
@sem4530170 just asked my fiance what warranty she has cause I saw another comment say it's covered under the 3yr 35k warranty but she just switched over from leasing to financing and her warranty was only 25k miles and she njst hit 26k Looks like I'll be buying it myself and doing it, where's the best place to order the part?
There are two very similar valves for the 2021 Corolla SE 2.0 liter with CVT: The one you change (16671-F2010) and another for the CVT (transmission). How do we get to that second valve (16671-F2020)
Unfortunately I do not have the time nor the patience to do this work. I’m a single mom and work 6 days a week and the day I have off I get to spent with my kid.. I had no choice but to pay the $700 😢
This convinces me that I made the right choice in purchasing a 2020 Corolla with the 1.8 liter instead of this Dynamic Force emgine.My engine is less complex,easier to work on ,and I dont think it even has the part you replaced.
No. The vehicle needs to be cold in order to replace the valve. The coolant loss from replacing the valve will be very minimal. You do not need to drain the hoses or the cooling system.
My 2020 RAV got 28k miles and the engine maintenance light came up with code P2681-15. bought the part for 50. Going to take it to dealer and see how much they charge for repair.
Usually the amount of coolant that spills is minimal. But yes. Always make sure the coolant level is correct. The system should always be bled when servicing it, just keep an eye on the level after replacing the valve. The system should be able to bleed itself. They are designed to do that.
Any advice on how you used the pick tool or maybe a different tool to get back there. It's not exactly easy to reach. I also have the same issue. Same year and model. Same error code according to the dealer ($170). They wanted $750 for the repair. Asshole at the dealer calls me to quote me that but then gives me the diagnostic sheet showing "coolant bypass hose" with an estimate of $169.95.
You can use any pry tool to get the plastic clip off as long as you are careful with those retainer clips. It is difficult to get to but it is possible.
@pacoimaspeed I actually did it this morning. Thanks. The goddamn valve I bought on ebay had slightly different hose ends and wouldn't fit in the hose clips. 2 of those, by the way - top and bottom. Had to order it from Toyota to ensure the right part gets to the dealer with a little bit of added warranty. I should've taken the valve off last week to give it a good look before buying it. Hopefully, your smarter viewers learn from me. It came out to $103 with tax. Hoping it doesn't take too long. Shipped it to the dealer hoping for a speedier delivery.
Does anyone know if theyve upgraded this part in later models? I just got a 2024 corolla with the 2.0L engine (m20a-fks) which has a tsb for the exact same problem
Why was it not covered under warranty? The vehicle is still nearly brand new and the mileage and year would still qualify for both the 5yr/60k powertrain and the 3yr/36k bumper to bumper
It was at the dealer and they told him it was not covered. Warranty coverages is based on the failed part number, Toyota decides what is covered. The dealer has the responsibility to advise the customer when a part is covered and repair the vehicle based on what warranty will cover the part. Whether it be base,extended or emissions warranty.
what a great video. i just have this light showing on 120k miles toyota corolla 2021. do i really need to get the coolant bypass valve from the dealer or it would be the same from ebay for half price?
Your choice, I only went to the dealer to get the latest part as they change them often when they have issues. It should be sorted out by now. It is less expensive online so that’s a plus.
It’s not a clamp. It more like a retainer that is released by pressing the tabs on one side of the hose together then pushing out of the way. It will stay in the hose and be careful not to break the tabs. If you do break them You will need to buy another hose and replace it or just use the retainer from the new hose on your old hose.
The white C clips are retainers (not clamps) that you need to careful slide to the side using a small pick or screwdriver. Do not remove them from the hoses. Also do not damage them or lose them or you will have to buy new hoses in addition to the valve.
Today Toyota give me 1200 Canadian dollars estimate just to change coolant bypass valve. Now I am going to get only a part from Toyota that will cost me $157. Another mechanic will change this for me in $100. Labor time they mentioned is 5 hours 🙄
Can you confirm the part you replaced is Part#16671-F2010? I have the same light and am pretty sure its the same issue w/my car. Only have 38000 miles. confirmed dealer wont cover it under warranty. Hopefully the lawsuit will get somewhere.
i had a same issue for my 2020 toyota camry. problem identified by dealer they quote 900 dollar for repair.i did not do it in dealer i bought the parts from dealer and change it outside.But the problem is engine light is not getting away after changed the parts. any suggestion for that? In addition the car is running fine no issue at all but just the engine light. tnx
If the check engine light is on all the time it may not be the valve causing the issue. If the valve is failing usually the check engine light will come on when you turn the AC on. You can go to the local Oreilly or Autozone ant they can pull a code for free. Let me know if this helps?
I don’t have the part number. But you can get it at any auto parts store. I got it at the Toyota dealer, that way I know it’s the latest part as they sometimes improve the part and change the number. It will be most expensive at the dealer.
I replaced mine, but now the air wont blow hot air. Made sure to bleed the system, fan kicks on at operating temp, hoses get hot, and gauge remains at the optimum temp. Engine maintenance required light is also gone. What am I missing?
There is air in the system. Sometimes they can be stubborn. You may need to continue bleeding the system. Sometimes you will need to rev the engine to @ 2500 rpm and retry the bleeding procedure. As long as the temp does not get too hot you can repeat the bleeding procedure. Just be careful and mind the engine temp.
Soooo is this not covered under warranty or Toyota care? This just happened to my fiances 2020 corolla se, I can fix it but if it's covered by the warranty or Toyota care, it'd be easier
Every policy is different depending on the coverage you bought. You can take it to Toyota and ask. It’s something they can check free of cost. You need to ask them if the water control valve is covered under your warranty policy.
I have a 2020 RAV4 with only 12,475 miles on it & it's doing the same thing. The Toyota factory should've already had a recall on this issue there's no way I should be having problems with my SUV with that type of miles on it.
All manufacturers will only recall a part if it will affect them legally or monetarily. A part that fails early will not trigger a recall unless it cost them money or it’s a safety issue. I agree that it should be recalled.
@@pacoimaspeed I felt so stupid today when I called the dealership that I actually forgot until they reminded me that I bought the extended warranty 8 yr or 120,000 mile I thought I just had the basic 2yr 24,000 warranty. So I scheduled to drop it off to them.
Just make sure you are removing the bolt for the valve and not something else. It might be difficult to remove in some instances. I had no problem removing it. I just used regular hand tools. Hope this helps
Yes, that bolt is super tight from the factory. I think they put a drop of loctite on it at the factory. Use a 6-point socket and a long breaker bar. Whatever you do don’t strip the head of the bolt.
My dad and i just tried to replace my wife's and we could not for the life of us get that bolt loose that's holding the valve to the mount, we started stripping the head of the 12mm bolt and now we have to remove the whole thing from the engine to get that bolt off How did you do it?
They make sockets that are special for rounded bolt heads. They sell some at Harbor Freight and you can also find them online. You can also try a 12 point socket. Either way of the head of the bolt is damaged you need to make sure the socket you use to remove it is firmly placed on the head of the bolt. Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else.
Yeah that bolt is super tight. I'm pretty sure they added a drop of loctite to that bolt at the factory and I'm not sure why. It doesn't need to be that tight for a non-safety related part. They make tools to help in the removal of rounded/stripped bolt heads. Check with your local auto parts store.
Replace the part when it is cold. It will only spill a very little amount of coolant. I did refill what spilled. Be very careful with the clips holding the valve to the hoses. They can break, the good part is that if it does break you can just replace the clips. You will have to buy the hose to get the clip.
@@pacoimaspeed thank you for the quick reply! I replaced the valve no problem yesterday. Her check engine light did come on this morning so I'm assuming it's because I didn't refill the spilled coolant or air possible got stuck? I read online that some people burped the cooling system.
@@pacoimaspeed well, she just got home and what she thought was the "check engine" light was the tire pressure light lol. That solves that mystery. Thanks for the video you helped us save $700 from taking it to the dealership!
What he said. Mine was stuck on open. My service advisor recommended I do the service myself to save myself 400 bucks. 20 mins replace and the part is 70 dollars max. but those plastic retainers are frail. I broke mine for the bottom hose but left it on there anyways lol still holding on and no dtc.
Hey brotha, want to say thanks for the video. It was very helpful in me replacing the valve myself. Saving Hundreds of dollars in the process and only took 35 minutes to replace. FYI Rock Auto sells the part labeled a heater valve for $50 . Dealership wanted $140. Same part. Works great. Appreciate you.
Glad it could help. Thanks you for the part update.
They didn’t charge diagnosis & they wanted $750. I wanted to cry until I asked the part’s price & they said $150. So now I’m here. Thank you.
You are welcome
Same with me- $126. diagnostics test & $735. to replace coolant hose - includes $150. Approx. for parts. Toyota says (3) hours of labor
Love this , ten months later and you’re still saving people a lot of money. Thanks very much, you are serving your fellow man with honor and dignity. hard to come by these days.
Glad to help. I still think it’s overpriced at the dealer.
Here’s some helpful tips based on my experience:
- 2020 Corolla SE at 55K miles
- "Engine Maintenance Required" message comes on ONLY with A/C ON
- No trouble codes stored in ECM memory
- The valve had dried coolant deposits on the housing
- Ohmmeter check confirmed the valve was internally shorted
- The valve part number is 16671-F2010
- To replace valve, make sure engine is cool & remove the 12V battery
- Valve is located just left of the battery between cyl head & firewall
- Remove felt insulator and wiper cowl to give you more room to work
- Remove the electrical connector from the valve
- Carefully SLIDE the white C clips on the hoses to the side
- Use a pick tool or small screwdriver to SLIDE the C clips
- NOTE: the C clips stay on the hoses (do not remove from hose)
- Do not break or lose these clips as they are NOT sold separately
- Remove the coolant reservoir cap before twisting off the hoses
- One bolt holds the valve onto the cylinder head and it’s VERY TIGHT
- Use a 6-point socket and a breaker bar to loosen this bolt
- After replacing the valve, top-off the coolant level in the reservoir
- After driving, recheck coolant level as it will drop from air pockets
- Message goes away after the new coolant bypass valve is installed
- If you decide to do it yourself the total cost is around $100
Thanks for that detailed description
Dude how did you get the bottom clip off
It’s the same as the top clip. Straighten a paper clip, bend the first 1/4 inch to make an “L” shaped tip. Use this to grab the white C clip and slide it to the side. The clip stays on the hose. Good luck!
Yea took me a while but finally got it. Just a pain bc you have to work from under for that bottom clip
Im going on almost 3 hours now though trying to get this damn bolt off
THERE'S A CURRENT LAWSUIT filed against Toyota for Coolant Bypass Valve issue. JUST IN!
June 10, 2024 - A Toyota class action lawsuit alleges Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Corolla coolant bypass valve recall is needed because the coolant bypass valves crack and prematurely fail.
Two customers filed the lawsuit for more than $5 million to cover 2019-2023 Toyota RAV4 and 2019-2023 Toyota Corolla vehicles with the allegedly defective coolant bypass valves.
According to the Toyota class action lawsuit, coolant will leak and the engine will overheat, stall and fail.
Once coolant corrodes the coolant bypass valve sensor, the valve will allegedly get stuck in the open or closed position and not properly direct coolant through the engine.
Coolant can also allegedly leak into the Toyota electrical system and damage the components.
Toyota allegedly concealed the problem, and without a coolant bypass valve recall customers are stuck with paying for costly repairs that don't fix the problem which will allegedly continue to occur.
In addition, Toyota allegedly concealed from owners how the coolant bypass valve problem causes diminished vehicle values.
And as repeated in every automotive class action lawsuit:
"Had Plaintiffs and other Class Members known of the Defect at the time of purchase or lease, they would not have bought or leased their Class Vehicles, or would have paid substantially less for them."
California plaintiff Geri Barrientos purchased a 2020 Toyota RAV4 in June 2020, but she had to pay for a coolant bypass valve failure when the RAV4 had 40,723 miles on the odometer.
Florida plaintiff Michael Foerst purchased a 2020 Toyota RAV4 in January 2020, but the coolant bypass valve failed when the RAV4 had more than 41,000 miles on it.
The plaintiff says he had to pay for the repairs.
Both plaintiffs had to pay for repairs because the RAV4 warranties had expired, but the plaintiffs argue the limited warranty is "unconscionable and unenforceable."
The plaintiffs want Toyota to stop its allegedly "unlawful, deceptive, fraudulent, and unfair business practices," and to recall the vehicles or buy them back from customers.
The Toyota RAV4 and Corolla coolant bypass valve class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (San Francisco Division): Barrientos et al., v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. et al.
The plaintiffs are represented by Nye, Stirling, Hale, Miller & Sweet, LLP, and Sauder Schelkopf.

Toyota took one out of the german hand book and started producing/using parts with a certain life span. This should be a recall part consisering everyone with a newer toyota is experiencing the same issue at around 30-60k miles
You have a point.
You may have a good point. I’m at 70k miles and had to slide my debit card in the electronic money grabber for my $700 today and hand it to the big Toy
At 42,000 miles on my 2020 Corolla and have this problem. Is there anywhere I can report this to Toyota? Can't afford to pay for this!!
@@Clark.V You can contact Toyota directly and ask. Good luck
This is what I was saying at this point it’s a way to make them more money
I purchased a 2018 Camry less than 10 Mos ago. Everytime I went for an oil change there was at least $800 of work to be done. Over 2k in repairs in 8 mos. My engine light came on and it's the valve/hose. They wanted $850 and of course my warranty didn't cover it as with any other repairs. I left in tears as I am supporting my disabled brother and don't have the money. I've decided to do this myself as I don't have any other options. Thank you for this boost in my confidence to get this done.
Most of the recommendations are dealer service add ons.
Glad you did the repairs yourself, have to save money. Those dealers charge so much money, now days can't even afford to have a car making the payments and the repairs.
9 mo later how is going for you if i may ask?
Just Did mine today 6-11-2024 7:00Pm. Car has 49,000 miles. Part was $120 in my Local dealer. It took me about 30ish minutes to do. But somebody with big hands and arms will definitely struggle. Installed. Buttoned it up and tested. Problem Solved. Thanks for this Awesome video.
Thank you. Glad it helped.
Thank you for this video. You’ve saved people a lot of money from being scammed
Most useful and helpful you tube post ever! Thanks!
You’re a life saver 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I had this issue for over a year and the dealership tried charging me 500 to replace it 🥴 came across this video , bought the part from Toyota for $70 and fixed the issue within an hr. Thanks a lot man!
No problem.
What is the part called specifically? And where did you buy it?
@@Risen_Star it’s the heater coolant bypass valve. I bought it at the Toyota dealer.
You sir are a life saver! Thank you!
Thanks Hector you kick ass. This video really helped.
No problem. Glad to help
You're a legend brother! Thanks for the help!
You are very welcome.
Great help and great support Thank You
You are welcome.
I paid $70 for the part and brought it to my mechanic, who then charged me $90. However, I refuse to pay $700 for a job that should only cost $200.
Hey brother! Where did you get the part, and how much does it cost ?
Yea I need to know where got the part
DUDE!!!!! You just saved me $400+!!! Thank you.
You are welcome.
Interesting. I went Saturday and they quoted me $1174 with 5-6 hours of work. Trying to find someone else now. Thanks for the video.
I just had the same repair done to my 2021Toyota Corolla , it has 37,938 MI. The dealer charge was $433 total price. The extended warranty covered the hole repair. I'm just hoping the rest of the car doesn't have bad parts like that.
That sounds like a great deal compared to the $700-800 every other dealer seems to want.
Thank you so much!! Cost me $133 au. It seems like the plastic region gets corroded and water gets into the switch cos mine wasn't leaking at all. Engine maintenance required notification came up at 150000km and the vehicle is 3years old.
Sr, thanks for this great video ... i wish u had a rav4 cuz i have the same issue with mine and supposedly is a bit more difficult to replace that valve in the ravs. I have noticed this is a common issue with these recent toyotas with these cheap plastic part and the dealer should recall and replace that valve with no charge but as always dealers just want to ripp off its clients. Thanks for such good informative video 👍
You are welcome. Often manufacturers are aware of common failures with their automobiles and do nothing to resolve them. I think they only offer some warranty because of government intervention. In the 70s cars only had months worth of warranty. Before that as soon as you drove it off the lot you own it and all its failures are your problem.
Dam thank you G you are a life saver😅👍🏻
2020 Rav4 here. Same issue, local Toyota dealer wanted $650 to replace it. $200 in parts, $50 in disposal fees (which is complete BS), and $400 in labr (which is also complete BS). Got the part for $50 and will be replacing myself. Thanks gor the vid.
Glad I could help.
I just made the mistake and paid 700 for this repair. Good learning curve. Rip off for labor. Thanks for sharing
Not sure its a rip off yet. I haven’t had any comments on what the job pays per the manual. But your welcome.
I ended up with a 10$ oil change & a free point inspection at the dealership. So far i saved 100$ by changing my 2 filters. The dealership wants $1700 to flush all the systems. I believe i can do it myself for way cheaper.
Thank you, wish you were in Florida
The extra money is for renting a property, license to operate a dealer, salary for all the ladies sitting behind window do paper work, coffee, cleaning guy, salary, electric, water, insurance and much more
Beautiful e30 in the back!
Thanks for your video. I will go to my other mechanic and buy the part so he may change it for less than $700+ that the dealership is trying to charge me. Thanks again and God bless you
Glad to help
Just got done at my Toyota dealer, 2020 Corolla SE with the same problem! $88 for the diagnosis, and will cost $610 to repair! #Toyota needs to put this on a recall list! 😡😡
Oh my god
I am happy I saw this video. My GF's Rav 4 is at the dealer now for the same thing and they want to charger her 800 dollars for that. Not happening!!!!!!
thanks for the video. my rav4 started displaying this same message
Your welcome. Glad it helped.
Thanks my wife's rav4 just had her light come on today
Gracias pot la enseñanza campeón saludos.
De nada. Le puedo preguntar en qué cuidad está?
i have 2020 Toyota Corolla same problem. Bought part $105 from dealer local mecaNic charged me $40 bucks . ty bro
Your welcome
Same problem with 2019 Rav4. Thanks for video.
$700 dealer charge probably due to dealer changing valve assembly which requires significantly more teardown to access hose ends.
I have a 19 rav too. Bought the part from Toyota today, 130 bucks. Not a car person at all, but going to try this myself tomorrow. Did you do yours? Was it easy? Not to give my whole life story, but I live in an apartment and gotta work in a parking lot lol. Hoping for the best
@@CattleTude did you finally change it by your own? They want it to charge me 900$ to replaced it, i just order the Part to do it my sell tomorrow
@@luisesquivel7691 I’m not a car person at all, but I did try. I had a buddy from work help me and he did it in less than an hour. Had to take out the battery, the battery shelf thing and moved some wires out of the way. It wasn’t a big deal at all.
He had to scoot under the car to get the bottom hose un clipped, but re-clasped the new one from above
Getting the little black fuse plug thing unhooked was kind of a pain, and getting the hose clamps off was a pain, other than that easy breezy
Good luck! Hope it goes smooth for you
That's great
Thank you
I love that all Corolla peeps are coming together on how Toyota is on some bs lately 😂
Dealerships are good for parts, but they’re the devil for repairs
Dealer told me yesterday it will cost 700.. thanks for this video
Your welcome.
They charging me $875 😮
I went last year to a Toyota dealer to have my wheels swap, inspection, and oil change and filter. Five hours later I got the car back with a bill of $550. I was surprised since I though it was going to cost me at most $350.00. Then I saw they were charging 35% to 50% more for oil and filter. They also charge me 2.5 hours of work. After looking at my dash cams which were on, I saw that from the time the vehicle was turn on and put back it was 1 hour and 20 minutes. I also made a marking on the wheels and saw they never swap them. I asked to speak with a manager and explained why a 1.5 hour job took 5 hours and why I was being charge for work not done. He kept insisting that the mechanic did work for 2.5 hours and that my car uses special oil and filter so this is the reason for extra costs. I looked up the parts and found them much cheaper just 7 miles away. When I showed him the video that the mechanic only took less than 1.5 hours to do the oil change , filter, and inspection. He left and made another excuse that he apologize that the mechanic was working on another car at the same time and enter the wrong number of hours in the work sheet. I left with paying just $225. I'm never going back again. I wanted to see if this was a problem with the service department or parts also. So I called three days later to request the price of mirror cover. They gave me a price of $72 dollars, but even though I gave them the vin number, make , model and trim level along with color they provided the part number to a different color. The same cover was being sold between $45 -52 at other locations.
Dealers will always charge more for their parts and service not because they can but because they are the manufacturers go to. They have the parts directly from the manufacture and technicians trained by the manufacture. Also parts and service prices vary between dealers because they are private companies not run by the manufacture. It’s a good and a bad thing because you will run in to situations where they are abusing customers and your only ally in that situation is the better business bureau. With all that said customer pay labor times are established with best practices in mind by outside agencies that are mostly fair. That’s why I’m the video I asked why it cost so much? I am a technician and have had many instances where a labor time was more than the time it took to do the job and their are cases where it does not pay enough. As far as your situation goes I believe the service advisor should have let you know before you got the bill about the difference in price of oil and filter and labor. Also you are only liable for the estimate they give you when you drive in. They can’t say it will cost a certain amount and then just change it on you without your authorization. As far as how long it took is a longer discussion that would take me to long to type out. I’ve always been of the opinion that a dealer should be the NBA or the NFL of repair. They are to have the best people possible at every position to deliver the best product, unfortunately that is often not the case. The whole industry gets a bad name for those that do the job poorly.
@@pacoimaspeed have you see a video on how to replace it for the Rav4 (2019 -2023) ? Also your OBDII scan tool did not pick up the DTC code?
@@knight3131 I have an old scan tool that would not pull the code. The code was pulled by the dealer. Most modern scan tools should be able to pull the code. Autozone will pull codes for free. Here is a video that shows the rav4. The video is not in English.

Folks, I just have that valve replaced under warranty on my 2020 Rav 4. I think it is the same valve. Longo Toyota at El Monte, CA bill is $507 covered under warranty. Looks like a more reasonable price. They also change out the coolant judging from the part list.
I have a 2020 Corolla SE with the same problem. The car is from Tustin Toyota with 42,000 miles on it. Do you think it will be covered by warranty?
Really? What warranty is that? Toyota dealer guy told me its not covered for rav4, camry, and corolla. Those dirt bags!
@@dagreatka0758 yep, same.
Just in case this helps someone ,I just picked this valve up for my 2020 corolla. Purchased in Hawaii, made in Japan. My issue wasn’t effected by the A/C though. It would flash “engine service maintenance”, “check engine”, and “drive start control malfunction”, which caused it to beep, without being able to turn them off…when I hooked up the code reader, it threw a couple of codes for the valve, as well as some airbag codes. When I checked the valve, it turns out it was leaking coolant into the plug/wire harness which was causing the electrical to short, which is why it was giving me so many warning lights/codes. Shouldn’t be having parts fail at 30k miles, before even having to change the brakes..
Covered Under the powertrain warranty.
@@user-pj5ff6xw4x yes, but that shouldn’t be the solution. Also, I’m no longer in Hawaii and their dealer is Servco Toyota (They have a monopoly in the state), and don’t affiliate with the dealerships on the mainland. So if you purchase the vehicle in the continental U.S., the warranty won’t be honored in Hawaii, and vice versa..
@@user-pj5ff6xw4x Also, even if I could’ve had the warranty honored, it was throwing multiple different codes, not just coolant bypass, so I didn’t know exactly what was wrong with it and they wanted $400 just to diagnose, which I would’ve had to pay if they found it was something that didn’t fall under the warranty.
I did this repair at 85,000 on the odo. Not too difficult of a job but on the Corollas it's a pain to get to.
Okay I gotta let y’all know…. PSA
If you end up having to change the entire bypass valve system(valve and hoses) be prepared for a pain in the ass. Supposed to be easy job but hoses and clamps are in the worst spot!!!
I think ima just buy the part and pay a 3rd party mechanic so save it being a PITA for me.
Shouldn’t be more than $100 if you have the part already.
Yes they wanted to charge me 750 for that Val Another quest can you get rid of some of the senor. I have 155000 I’m mostly hwy driving my suv was brand new I’ve the only owner. It is a rave 4 2020 I took it to my dealer. The the engine maintenance was mostly updates. And the coolnet valve. Thank you for this help me a lot. Diane
Your are welcome.
Awesome Vodeo.
The problem is coolant leaks through the connector and shorts the wires together. If you unplug the connector you will probably see traces of dried coolant. If you replace just the valve by itself it will leak again. There is an updated part but it’s the entire valve and hose assembly.
Thanks for the update
Do you happen to have an updated part number for that valve & hose assembly?
@@kristinadistrito7524 if you purchase the part at a Toyota dealer you will get the correct part. It’s been the only way to get the right one so far.
For anyone wondering what the updated part is I believe it’s
“ TOYOTA 2018-2023 CAMRY 2019-2023 RAV4 2.5L RADIATOR BYPASS HOSE 16260-F0010 “
Part number is 16260-F0010 which includes the hose.
Don’t buy the non hose option. Get the whole thing. Should be under $100 shipped. I paid $80.
@@CuarentaZ40 do you know what part number it would be for a Toyota Corolla ? I tried looking for the hose and valve for it but it was only for Camrys
This Happened to my girlfriend’s 2020 Corolla, and we took it to the dealership yesterday, and they said it was that same part gone bad but it was going to be $750 . I told them to leave it alone,I’ll pick up the car and do it myself,$120 they charged to check the car.
You’re a rockstar! Thank you so much for this!!!!!!! 45,099 miles. Luckily, the platinum warranty at the dealership is going to cover it.
You are welcome.
THANKS ..
No problem.
I just had it done i was charged 1hr plust part plus diagnostic just over 300..i was told coukd be closer to the 700 your talking about had to do with the firewall ..im not a mechanic so i really dont know what they were talking about
thanks for help me
I read in a 12th gen corolla group post that the part number is aisin ASVT9004, let me know if it is correct/incorrect . Hope this helps
Your right, my rav 4 2020 same here, 30 k miles no more warranty and they want coolant change,valve body cleaner $1200
It sucks
Wow. That’s that’s a lot money.
They also wanted to do,brake fluid change,throttle body and injector cleaner,for another $800.00 after watching your video,and realized something i could do... called my wife that called while at the dealer to stop the repair on the cooling valve then wife wanted to do brakes and cooling change,dealer stated they still have to charge $200.00 for diagnosis the engine problem.
Sucks
I have the same model and year with 40k miles with the same issue...this is definitely a RECALL ISSUE. Most likely this part is intentionally built to fail at around the dealer warranty expiration so that they can screw over the consumer with their outrageous repair cost. I will definitely not be taking my car to Toyota unless it's a last resort.
Same here
Manufacturers don’t want parts to fail. This is caused by increased complexity to meet emissions and fuel economy standards. Overall cars are much better than they used to be. Stay away from the stealer.
This light just came on this past weekend. Took it to the dealership and they said Bypass coolant valve was gonna be $700 and wanted to charge $180 to diagnose until I told them that was crazy and my sister works at another Toyota. They then only charged $80 for the diagnosis and gave me a receipt with part numbers and prices. They have the valve, water part # 16671F2010 for $126 and they also quoted Coolant. I think I will just buy myself and do it. Also, saw someone was asking about it being covered under warranty. Service manager said it's covered under 3yr 35k warranty, after that it's not covered under the 5yr 50k because it's not an internal engine part. Which is strange because the Toyota I bought it from told me different on the phone. Regardless, I still think $700 is way too much and will still end up doing myself. Thanks for the video.
Would it be the same part for a 2019 Toyota corrola hatch back?
@@erickgiron3273 same part
So as long as it's under 35k miles, they would repair it for free?
@nickkduhh Unsure if this is something covered by warranty. I would speak to a service rep and ask if it would be a warranty repair. If they say no then purchase the part and replace it yourself, save yourself some 💰💰💰.
@sem4530170 just asked my fiance what warranty she has cause I saw another comment say it's covered under the 3yr 35k warranty but she just switched over from leasing to financing and her warranty was only 25k miles and she njst hit 26k
Looks like I'll be buying it myself and doing it, where's the best place to order the part?
Yea $700 dollars for labor and $200 for a diagnosis and $50 part
Powertrain warranty 5 yrs or 60000.and yes the part is covered
There are two very similar valves for the 2021 Corolla SE 2.0 liter with CVT: The one you change (16671-F2010) and another for the CVT (transmission). How do we get to that second valve (16671-F2020)
I don’t know, haven’t done one.
Unfortunately I do not have the time nor the patience to do this work. I’m a single mom and work 6 days a week and the day I have off I get to spent with my kid.. I had no choice but to pay the $700 😢
This convinces me that I made the right choice in purchasing a 2020 Corolla with the 1.8 liter instead of this Dynamic Force emgine.My engine is less complex,easier to work on ,and I dont think it even has the part you replaced.
Do you have to drain the coolant lines when replacing? I have a RAV4 2019 with this issue. Thank you
No. The vehicle needs to be cold in order to replace the valve. The coolant loss from replacing the valve will be very minimal. You do not need to drain the hoses or the cooling system.
My 2020 RAV got 28k miles and the engine maintenance light came up with code P2681-15. bought the part for 50. Going to take it to dealer and see how much they charge for repair.
It still might be covered under warranty. Ask them when you take it to the dealer.
Do we need to top off the radiator and bleed the system by changing this part out?
Usually the amount of coolant that spills is minimal. But yes. Always make sure the coolant level is correct. The system should always be bled when servicing it, just keep an eye on the level after replacing the valve. The system should be able to bleed itself. They are designed to do that.
I have the same issue but I’m struggling to find the part number and where to find the actual part. Some help would be great
I went straight to the Toyota dealer because there are conflicting stories on line.
Any advice on how you used the pick tool or maybe a different tool to get back there. It's not exactly easy to reach. I also have the same issue. Same year and model. Same error code according to the dealer ($170). They wanted $750 for the repair. Asshole at the dealer calls me to quote me that but then gives me the diagnostic sheet showing "coolant bypass hose" with an estimate of $169.95.
You can use any pry tool to get the plastic clip off as long as you are careful with those retainer clips. It is difficult to get to but it is possible.
@pacoimaspeed I actually did it this morning. Thanks. The goddamn valve I bought on ebay had slightly different hose ends and wouldn't fit in the hose clips. 2 of those, by the way - top and bottom. Had to order it from Toyota to ensure the right part gets to the dealer with a little bit of added warranty. I should've taken the valve off last week to give it a good look before buying it. Hopefully, your smarter viewers learn from me. It came out to $103 with tax. Hoping it doesn't take too long. Shipped it to the dealer hoping for a speedier delivery.
Does anyone know if theyve upgraded this part in later models? I just got a 2024 corolla with the 2.0L engine (m20a-fks) which has a tsb for the exact same problem
Is this the Le or Se?
Why was it not covered under warranty? The vehicle is still nearly brand new and the mileage and year would still qualify for both the 5yr/60k powertrain and the 3yr/36k bumper to bumper
It was at the dealer and they told him it was not covered. Warranty coverages is based on the failed part number, Toyota decides what is covered. The dealer has the responsibility to advise the customer when a part is covered and repair the vehicle based on what warranty will cover the part. Whether it be base,extended or emissions warranty.
Did you need to burp the cooling system? Or is it ok just to replace the coolant that spilled?
I did try to burp it but it never did. I guess it doesn’t get that much air when replacing the valve.
what a great video. i just have this light showing on 120k miles toyota corolla 2021. do i really need to get the coolant bypass valve from the dealer or it would be the same from ebay for half price?
Your choice, I only went to the dealer to get the latest part as they change them often when they have issues. It should be sorted out by now. It is less expensive online so that’s a plus.
Could you give out some details on how to take off those hoses, i dont see any clamps attached to them. Thank you
It’s not a clamp. It more like a retainer that is released by pressing the tabs on one side of the hose together then pushing out of the way. It will stay in the hose and be careful not to break the tabs. If you do break them
You will need to buy another hose and replace it or just use the retainer from the new hose on your old hose.
The white C clips are retainers (not clamps) that you need to careful slide to the side using a small pick or screwdriver. Do not remove them from the hoses. Also do not damage them or lose them or you will have to buy new hoses in addition to the valve.
Today Toyota give me 1200 Canadian dollars estimate just to change coolant bypass valve.
Now I am going to get only a part from Toyota that will cost me $157. Another mechanic will change this for me in $100. Labor time they mentioned is 5 hours 🙄
Can you confirm the part you replaced is Part#16671-F2010? I have the same light and am pretty sure its the same issue w/my car. Only have 38000 miles. confirmed dealer wont cover it under warranty. Hopefully the lawsuit will get somewhere.
I haven’t checked with the Toyota dealer but that’s the latest part number I can find online.
Muchas gracias por la info. Cuál es número de la parte? No quisiera equivocarme. Gracias amigo!
Yo la compré directamente de la Toyota. Así consigo la parte correcta.
Where can I buy the part? I’m having the same issue with my 2020 Toyota Corolla
You can get it at any auto parts store. I bought it at the Toyota dealer. It will be more expensive at the dealer.
i had a same issue for my 2020 toyota camry. problem identified by dealer they quote 900 dollar for repair.i did not do it in dealer i bought the parts from dealer and change it outside.But the problem is engine light is not getting away after changed the parts. any suggestion for that? In addition the car is running fine no issue at all but just the engine light. tnx
If the check engine light is on all the time it may not be the valve causing the issue. If the valve is failing usually the check engine light will come on when you turn the AC on. You can go to the local Oreilly or Autozone ant they can pull a code for free. Let me know if this helps?
Where did you buy the part?
At the local Toyota dealer.
I have the same problem with my 2020 toyota corolla se sedan.. can u tell the correct parts # plss.. if u dont mind.. thanks..
I don’t have the part number. But you can get it at any auto parts store. I got it at the Toyota dealer, that way I know it’s the latest part as they sometimes improve the part and change the number. It will be most expensive at the dealer.
I replaced mine, but now the air wont blow hot air. Made sure to bleed the system, fan kicks on at operating temp, hoses get hot, and gauge remains at the optimum temp. Engine maintenance required light is also gone. What am I missing?
There is air in the system. Sometimes they can be stubborn. You may need to continue bleeding the system. Sometimes you will need to rev the engine to @ 2500 rpm and retry the bleeding procedure. As long as the temp does not get too hot you can repeat the bleeding procedure. Just be careful and mind the engine temp.
@@pacoimaspeed Thank you! Will retry the process again. Appreciate the reply!
I WAS WATCHING IVAN THE RUSSIAN at pine hollow ,the el tubo recomendo tu canal HELLOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome. Thanks for checking it out.
Soooo is this not covered under warranty or Toyota care?
This just happened to my fiances 2020 corolla se, I can fix it but if it's covered by the warranty or Toyota care, it'd be easier
Every policy is different depending on the coverage you bought. You can take it to Toyota and ask. It’s something they can check free of cost. You need to ask them if the water control valve is covered under your warranty policy.
My local dealership charged me $900!!
*Question*
Is this the same for a Toyota RAV4?
It may be. manufacturers will often use the sam parts across different car lines with the same engine.
I have a 2020 RAV4 with only 12,475 miles on it & it's doing the same thing. The
Toyota factory should've already had a recall on this issue there's no way I should be having problems with my SUV with that type of miles on it.
All manufacturers will only recall a part if it will affect them legally or monetarily. A part that fails early will not trigger a recall unless it cost them money or it’s a safety issue. I agree that it should be recalled.
@@pacoimaspeed I felt so stupid today when I called the dealership that I actually forgot until they reminded me that I bought the extended warranty 8 yr or 120,000 mile
I thought I just had the basic 2yr 24,000 warranty. So I scheduled to drop it off to them.
Where can I buy the part? Just in the dealer?
You can get it aftermarket also. I bought it at the dealer.
Where can I buy the coolant bypass valve?
You can get them at any part store. I got mine from Toyota.
Part #16671-F2010
That’s the part number fellas
Would this work for the Toyota Corolla SE 2021 ?
Did you ever try it and did it work? I'm currently dealing with the exact same issue on my 2021 corolla se.
That part #16671 - f2010 is that located on the top of the motor were the battery
I have same issue i order the part with 30$ waiting to recive then will replace
Good luck
toyota just tried to charge me 750 for this. thank you
You are welcome.
Dealership wants to charge me $850. On a 2020 camry. Im going to buy the part and find out fingers crossed
Take your time with it. The hardest part is releasing the plastic retainers holding the hoses on.
How is it as a fellow technician how do you get a part number wrong?
That’s the number that was on the receipt. If you have the correct number I’ll fix it.
@@pacoimaspeed the part number you’re giving is for the bottom, the top is is same number beside the ending will be 2010
How did you get the bolt that secures the valve? I can't budge it at all
Just make sure you are removing the bolt for the valve and not something else. It might be difficult to remove in some instances. I had no problem removing it. I just used regular hand tools. Hope this helps
Update: had to use a long bar for leverage. Got it out & replaced, thanks!!
Yes, that bolt is super tight from the factory. I think they put a drop of loctite on it at the factory. Use a 6-point socket and a long breaker bar. Whatever you do don’t strip the head of the bolt.
My dad and i just tried to replace my wife's and we could not for the life of us get that bolt loose that's holding the valve to the mount, we started stripping the head of the 12mm bolt and now we have to remove the whole thing from the engine to get that bolt off
How did you do it?
They make sockets that are special for rounded bolt heads. They sell some at Harbor Freight and you can also find them online. You can also try a 12 point socket. Either way of the head of the bolt is damaged you need to make sure the socket you use to remove it is firmly placed on the head of the bolt. Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else.
Yeah that bolt is super tight. I'm pretty sure they added a drop of loctite to that bolt at the factory and I'm not sure why. It doesn't need to be that tight for a non-safety related part. They make tools to help in the removal of rounded/stripped bolt heads. Check with your local auto parts store.
Is 2020 Toyota Rav4 fit that part?
I think I might be. Is in a different location
I’m in the San Fernando Valley. Would I be able to take my car to you? I’m having that same issue with my car.

My sister's Corolla has this same issue and I'm gonna try to do it myself. Did you refill the coolant?
Replace the part when it is cold. It will only spill a very little amount of coolant. I did refill what spilled. Be very careful with the clips holding the valve to the hoses. They can break, the good part is that if it does break you can just replace the clips. You will have to buy the hose to get the clip.
@@pacoimaspeed thank you for the quick reply! I replaced the valve no problem yesterday. Her check engine light did come on this morning so I'm assuming it's because I didn't refill the spilled coolant or air possible got stuck? I read online that some people burped the cooling system.
Usually that only sets the engine service message in the cluster. Not the check engine light. But if its low on coolant it may, not very sure.
@@pacoimaspeed well, she just got home and what she thought was the "check engine" light was the tire pressure light lol. That solves that mystery. Thanks for the video you helped us save $700 from taking it to the dealership!
I have same issue and about to buy the part and replace myself any suggestions or tips
Just be carful when removing the hoses. They have plastic retainers holding the hoses on.
What he said. Mine was stuck on open. My service advisor recommended I do the service myself to save myself 400 bucks. 20 mins replace and the part is 70 dollars max. but those plastic retainers are frail. I broke mine for the bottom hose but left it on there anyways lol still holding on and no dtc.
Do you replace the only bypass valve ?
Yes. The hoses would only need replacing if they look old and brittle.
