You did a great job with this video. I replaced the coolant bypass pipe on my 2012 2.7L Tacoma yesterday. It was helpful how you pointed out all the electrical connectors and vacuum hoses that needed to be removed. Thanks a lot!
Just did this on my '05 Taco. Your video was very helpful. There are 2 bolts that mount the transmission dipstick that need to be undone in order to maneuver the manifold. One bolt was mounted on the manifold intake itself and the other was further down the dipstick tube a little past the starter. Once unbolted you can twist the dipstick tube clockwise to make room. That hidden tube connected to the manifold could be pulled off even with the hose clamp in place. Looks like the engineers did this by design. Other videos mentioned that no gasket sealer is needed on the black metal gasket. Just in case, I put some Permatex blue on the water pump side and the metal bypass tube side. Then, I put on the bolts till snug on water pump side and the firewall side. I let the sealant set a few minutes while I cleaned the intake manifold and installed new gasket. Then torqued the bolts on the pump side to 80 in-lbs. On the firewall side just above the starter, I had to put the bolt on reverse since the metal bypass tube was a little longer than the original. I like this setup, if the bolt comes lose while traveling, it will fall in the starter mounting bracket.
Working on this now and a FANTASTIC walkthrough!!! The ONLY thing I would recommend is to disconnect the battery. When fuel is involved, it is better to be on the safe side. Probably over safe, however it never hurts. Thank you again for taking the time to do this and take care!
You are the man! Short and simple - right to the point. Mechanic said they want 450 bucks to fix the bypass tube, so this video saved me big time!! Thank you for the great vid man!
I have a 2013 with the 2.7 and Toyota had changed over to the metal bypass pipe on mine. Hope you didn't overheat your engine due to the plastic pipe and your video was a good one.
Recommended. Thorough. Got to get out there to do the same R&R of thermostat, radiator hoses, and bypass pipe on my '10 Taco 2.7L. Thanks for the help.
Mine was leaking, I thought it was just the gasket. I'm removing the head due to a blown headgasket, might as well replace the whole pipe. Good thing I found your video just in time. Thanks for the vid!
Perfect. Completed the job with a few tools. A socket wrench, 8-inch extension, 10/12mm socket deep well socket big box store kit. A 10mm wrench short, and a small pair of pliers, and a screw driver. The gasket for some reason likes to jump off the posts when putting the new pipe in place. About a liter of new coolant, a touch of RTV gasket maker on the seal as well. What helped put the bolts and nuts back on was tearing a bit of shop paper and using that in the socket to hold the bolts/nuts from falling off when setting, some people use bees wax too.
I have to thank you sir, for the excellent video. I had to work on m fuel filter and this was the only video I could find that showed me how to get to it through the intake manifold. Your video also saved me afterwards when I failed to recall the “hidden” vacuum line until I rewatched the video last night hoping there was a line I didn’t remember because everything else worked beautifully. Thank you!!!
I just did this. YOU DONT NEED TO FULLY REMOVE THE MANIFOLD. If you loosen the manifold mounting bolts and studs, the manifold can move far enough out (towards driver side) that you can get the new pipe in underneath it. It's not exactly easy but I think its simpler than taking apart all the lines to the manifold and throttle body.
The original plastic pipe is infamous for failing due to heat stress and wear. If you’re going to do the work to access it, you want to swap it with metal.
Excellent video man! Straight forward and thoroughly explained, just the way it should be! Am currently in the process of replacin this part myself on my 06 Tacoma. Couldn’t age done it without seeing this vid. Thanks man, much appreciated 🙏 🤙
Great video I have a 2011 toyota tacoma 2.7 truck my problem is that I have a small drip from the from the coolant bypass flags on thr bottom bolt were it bolts into the thermostat housing I was wondering do you if I unbolt the flange from the thermostat housing I will be a le to have enough play to put a new gasket on the coolant bypass pipe hope all That makes sense thanks
Excellent video, everything went good, just that short hose on the right that goes to the intake was a pain in the a--, because not much space between the intake and firewall. thanks.
Great video and tips to have diagram ready with which bolt goes where. I have few questions. 1. Do the intake gasket really need to be changed? 2. Did you use an aftermarket intake gasket? 3. Is a thermostat hosing gasket maker really needed to be applied if using a new gasket?
My coolant by pass tube is leaking like everyone's. My mechanic had to remove the intake manifold as there is no way to get the pipe out otherwise. Labor = $590. Parts $75.
I'm about to do this repair on my 2011 Tacoma. There is a comment below where it was asked if the coolant needs to be drained but wasn't answered, can anyone answer please? Thanks.
If you have an older Toyota 2.7L engine with this plastic pipe, it should be changed out for the newer improved steel pipe whether it's leaking or not. It will fail eventually.
The most tidiest and informative and best video on the coolant bypass hose on the internet period. Wow. Thank you so much!
I'm in the same boat. I do my own maintenance as long as I can afford the equipment or tools for the job. Sweet vid man.
You did a great job with this video. I replaced the coolant bypass pipe on my 2012 2.7L Tacoma yesterday. It was helpful how you pointed out all the electrical connectors and vacuum hoses that needed to be removed. Thanks a lot!
I like how you took pictures and kept the bolts/screws together as they were removed, so reassembly will be much easier.
Super helpful and descriptive, turned a 6 hour job into a little over an hour for me. Thanks a lot, super good editing and info. 👌
2 years old and I'm a college student using this for my Tacoma thank you 🙏
Thanks for posting this! My '05 has just evacuated coolant from this plastic POS. I desperately needed to see it done. 👍
I just replaced the bypass pipe in my 07 tacoma, The job was quite difficult.

Thanks for providing a picture of the intake manifold. I missed one bolt. Thanks again!
I just replaced mine, just from this video. Thank you! You made it look easy, and it was.

Great video. I have to replace mine and this video is going to be a huge help.
You did a fine job on this ... there is a crap ton of stuff to disconnect and reconnect. I will be referencing you video when I do mine....THANKS!
Very grateful you made this video. Will be doing this same replacement tomorrow. Thanks again.
most thorough instructions I found on you tube! Thank you!
Excellent most excellent. Great job on the camera work, clear and on target. Good stuff!!
Thanks so much for making this video. It was very clear and super helpful.

Flat rate that job !!!!!
Please Tell me Why not just replace the gasket ??? Ty

Thanks going this job in the morning.
Tack both fuel line hoses, evap hose and brake booster hose behind the metal brake lines to have more room to work with intake!
What’s the harness at 2:59 and how do you unclip it? I feel like I’m going to break it
Ur video have all the info I need thank you so much
Are there any gaskets to replace when you remove the throttle body and intake?
Thank you !.. great video 😊
how did you get the bottom two intake bolts out ? you cant even see them
This problem is one of the first problem I have on my 2011 tacoma prerunner 2.7L. Toyota need to do better
What sizes of socket does this job take?
How did you get the clips off the fuel lines???
Great video and tips to have diagram ready with which bolt goes where. I have few questions.
1. Do the intake gasket really need to be changed?
2. Did you use an aftermarket intake gasket?
3. Is a thermostat hosing gasket maker really needed to be applied if using a new gasket?
1. depends do your own Inspection. I would, there cheep.
2. yes used aftermarket intake gasket, not OEM
4 most likely not, just torque should be good.
Very good video, I have to do my bypass soon. Thx
excellent video!
Very Helpful, Thank you
You're welcome!
What size are the manifold bolts? 12 mm?
Nice man
Where did you get the pictures from?
2007 Tacoma. Lower manifold screw appears to be behind the starter. Do I have to take the start off as well?
no
i have a 2023 model with the same motor, do they still have this problem?
thanks for this video
Ibam about tobthat this morning bud thank you for the helpfull video god bless.
How much does it cost for r n r?
the o- ring can be replaced
You did a good bud.
My coolant by pass tube is leaking like everyone's. My mechanic had to remove the intake manifold as there is no way to get the pipe out otherwise. Labor = $590. Parts $75.
IM doing my truck right now with experience
Hi - what year is your tacoma? Thie part 16268-75131 says it do not fit for 05. and i was given 16268-75112 .. Can you please help?
I'm about to do this repair on my 2011 Tacoma. There is a comment below where it was asked if the coolant needs to be drained but wasn't answered, can anyone answer please? Thanks.
What all tools were required for this job?
You don't need anything fancy, socket set, screwdriver set, pliers set, just basic tools.
@@mjschmidtmedia2894 10mm for battery. 12mm for bolts. Red sealant for intake manifold. Blue sealant for bypass tube. Pliers for hose clamps.
Gracias! señor
Glad I could help!
Mine just started leaking, thought it was the gasket. not that lucky. 184K miles
Did you drain all the coolant before doing this job
Pretty sure he did just by my casual observation, and the location of the plastic pipe.
Yeah thanks alot for this
was t he hose damaged
If you have an older Toyota 2.7L engine with this plastic pipe, it should be changed out for the newer improved steel pipe whether it's leaking or not. It will fail eventually.
Gotta be an easier way..ive got tiny little fingers : /
You don’t need to remove intake
But it makes it eaiser
