K24 Honda Heater Pipe Replacement CRV ACCORD

- In this video, I chronicle every single step of replacing the steel heater pipe that connects the thermostat housing to the heater core and feeds hot coolant to the throttlebody in a 2010 Honda CRV. This video applies to many Honda vehicles with the K engine
This was a miserable job, but I got through it and
so can you. Here to help! But I can’t always get to comments in time
19510-r40-a50 is the part number
Great video!!! Thanks Drew...you got me though this job! I want to mention what went bad for me in the hope that it helps someone else.
2007 CRV EX
1) Be very careful with the throttle body...while carefully disconnecting the coolant lines, one of the tubes crumbled as it was completely rusted out. I couldn't get the intake plenum out without removing the throttle body. Throttle bodies can be very expensive, and you have to know whether the car was manufactured in America or Japan. For the cars manufactured in Japan, the throttle body can cost much more. Of course, my CRV was manufactured in Japan. I was able to get an aftermarket throttle body for a fraction of the OEM price and it is working just fine.
2) The heater pipe broke off inside the thermostat housing as expected. Couldn't get it out and had to remove the thermostat housing. The easiest to access bolt (top one) was seized inside the plastic housing. I had to cut the plastic around that bolt to remove it and damaged the housing. Don't waste your time with the housing from AutoZone, it doesn't allow those special bolts to pass though when attaching the thermostat.
3) A re-learn procedure will probably be required when disconnecting your throttle body and was required for adding the new one. I was getting a P057 code for idle higher than expected and it was idling just over 1000 rpm. The re-learn procedure did not work without using a scan tool to reset it and then it relearned just fine by driving the car.
Thanks again Drew!
Wowsers! Yours was quite the adventure! Thank you for these comments I hope they get seen. Maybe there is a way for me to pin them
Just a note: the Vin number tells a lot about where the car was made. J is Japan. A full list can be found googling (check out the Buick envision - made in china!). Glad you’re through it! Please like and subscribe if you haven’t already :)
Owner of an ‘07 CR-V EX here. Thank you for posting this. Just got the job done. I didn’t have to remove the throttle body and anyone with an ‘07, ‘08 model has to be mindful of the lower bracket on the aluminum plenum. Saved hundreds. Thanks again!
I have to do mine on my 08 crv. do you have a part number for the pipe..from what I saw it says it's discontinued. Did you have to remove the intake manifold ??
@@minibikemadman Honda Dealership can give you the pipe number. Then go to “the bay” and order it from one of the stores. Don’t forget the OEM O-Ring. It has to be OEM. Yes! Manifold comes off.
@jonathanmelendez23 great to know ok ya I got a pipe on ebay a oem one ..was the last one so took my chances and said it fit my 08 ex-L . I had to do one on my 2007 Acura rdx before the crv and all these pipes rot and leak. The only crappy issue with the K series.
I did this job today and your video helped. Thank you.
My tips are: DEFINITELY have 10mm and 12mm bolt extractors on hand. Replace all four manifold gaskets, you don't want leaks and the gaskets are very cheap. There is no need whatsoever to remove the throttle body from the manifold, unnecessary work. Use a liberal amount of silicone grease on the heater pipe O-ring. Use a Honda heater pipe if you can find one. An aftermarket pipe MIGHT work but if it doesn't, you get to do this mess all over again.
When tightening the intake plenum DO NOT start at 1 end ALWAYS START IN THE CENTER or you could have a high-risk and cracking the intake and having a big problem just a quick tip. Great video super informational just wanted to throw that out there though.
Great video. I saw blue stains on the engine block on my wife’s CRV when I was doing an oil change. I tracked it down to the thermostat housing. Had no idea there was a metal pipe there all rusted out.
I plan to do this as soon as I get the parts in. The past comments were also very helpful and will try to leave the throttle body connected to the intake.
Thanks for the video. I just took mine all apart yesterday and my pipe was broke off in thermostat housing as well. What a bugger to get that piece out! I was able to leave the throttle body on and just left it attached to the intake plenum. I did take out the air filter box and battery to give me room to see and work. Those came out pretty easy. Thanks again .
You’re most welcome! I’m glad it worked out! I think a seal puller helps when it breaks off. Either way a pain! Please subscribe if you haven’t :)
Drew... Thank you. You got me through a nasty repair. (2010 CRV 4x4 LX)
Thank you brother. (great tip btw on the long bent needle nose pliers, I had no idea how badly I needed those)
I bought my pipe on Amazon "COOL STAR 19510R40A50 New upgraded Heater Pipe Comp Heater Compatible with 2008-2016 Honda Accord 10-11 CRV Odyssey Tourer 19510-R40-A50" It fit perfectly and included the gasket.
Also, to the commenters... Thank you.
I left the throttle body attached - great call
I changed the 13 year-old starter also when I was there.
It was a BEAR to get the 14mm and 17mm bolts out even with the plenum removed.
Thanks guys, Chris M. in Tampa, Florida

The best how-to video I've run across, bar none. I was on the fence about doing this job myself and finding this video convinced me to DIY. I had to source the pipe from Japan for 4x the dealer cost as well due to the backorder. In the meantime I watched this video three times and then queued it up in my garage as I did the work. I really appreciated the level of detail like how to disconnect each wire harness & retaining clips. I had the same issue with the lower wire connector clip swelling in the housing and had to wire tie it the same way. Also appreciated were the tips like on the brass hammer to seat the sockets, rags in the intake manifold and all the fastener access tips. Thanks to you I got the job done in a few hours. After seeing the trouble you had in removing the pipe end / o-ring, I cut the old pipe on the straight section. That way I was able to work the old piece back and forth to remove it without breaking the end in the plastic housing. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making a miserable job easy.
Wow I cannot even begin to tell you how much this feedback means to me. Seriously, these are very kind words and they mean the world. I am glad the video helped! Stay tuned in on the channel, because we own a small car dealership and, over the last two years and change, I have been 93% and a little change Toyota/Honda. The K 24 motor is ubiquitous among our inventory, and I do all the work myself and try to share anything I find that is helpful :-)
Love ur video it was so helpful, i damaged the thermostat housing 😭, but no other mishaps thank you u saved me so much 🤑. God bless you sir
This video is a car-saver (lifesaver !!). Visually, because of rust ring at leaking joint, I first thought I had a rubber hose with rusted away clamp. Removed steering pump, then alternator, for access and THEN discovered hard pipe - still shiny enough that I thought it was hard plastic. Wasted goodly amount of hours with wrong diagnosos. Found video (only other one on TH-cam) and finally knew nature of the joint. Have ordered thermostat housing (just in case) and steel pipe. This video is VERY thorough and complete for repair, start to finish; it is invaluable for getting the repair done with a proper approach and technique.
...and pipe. This video is VERY thorough and complete for the job, Start to Finish ! I agree with comment by another "The best how-to video" ever. THANK YOU Drew C.
Well these are extremely kind words! I am glad it helped! Please subscribe if you have not already. I am working towards putting together another video that will be the only one on TH-cam, the dreaded Prius evaporator core! Anytime I attack a big job and don’t have a video to go by, I try my best to create one to help you all! Glad this was valuable to you
Thank you. I couldn't find that hidden bolt on the throttle body until I watched you do it. For posterity, I was able to do this without taking apart the throttle body.
Awesome I am glad it helped. Please subscribe if you haven’t already!!
Good tip. I did it that way too. I appreciate you sharing that - you saved me some wrenching.
Outstanding video, great step by step narration, excellent camerawork and tips. I appreciate you making this video as I need to do this job on my 2011 crv. Thanks
This video was very helpful. I am planning to do the same job soon and wanted to see what I need to do. Very thorough and precise. Yes, it is very hard to video record and work on a vehicle at the same time. Great Job.
WOW !!! What a nightmare You handled like a champ and documented the whole trip Thank you !!
This was a fantastic video in order to get the pipe out with the O-ring on it I put some vice grips around mine and pryed up and down on the vise grips you have to place the
Vise grips all the way down on the plastic and then use the plastic to pry the pipe out with the vice grips I hope this makes sense it worked for me and my pipe had a hole in it as well so it was very weak as well
OMG!!!! first I feel extremely lucky, my heater pipe just went out Monday and I found the part right away, I just got it in the mail today. It came from the east coat a Honda dealership in Pennsylvania. Having it expedited in shipping was outrageous but all in all the part alone wasn't that much. What an excellent video!!! me and a couple of friends were gonna try and put it in this weekend but after watching your video (which again was very great) I decided to let the dealership do it. it's gonna cost me around $300 to $350 for them to do it but honestly I don't want to deal with the headache lol, but for anybody who wants to do it themselves...Wow you did an amazing job and I highly recommend they watch your video
Hey thank you! I really appreciate the feedback. Glad you caught it in time. Still can’t believe such A well made motor has such a flaw :( between this and the VTEC sprocket, I actually get nervous when I buy a k24 now!
Again thanks for the kind words:)
My car has same problem. Where can you find the part? I'll try DIY route.
Also,please provide part number.
@@samsambour7806 it was a couple of months ago so I don't remember part number but I will look for it today plus I'll go to the dealership where I had it done and see if they can help me out.
Hello, I just found my heater pipe to be leaking. Can I ask you how much it ended up costing at the honda dealer to have them replace your heater pipe? Thank you.
Hey there great job on the video. i just replaced my pipe and starter on 2011 crv with 139000 miles on it. it took me all day bc i clean and lubricate everything accessible as i go along. regarding the electrical connection that swells up into the metal retainer bracket attached to the maifold. it took me about 15 minutes to manuever that thing off with penetrating oil fluid film.type oil and just plain rocking and patience. i got it off without breaking it. i did a couple things a little different from.your video but all in all your pain stakingly done video was really helpful. just subscribed to your channel. take care 🙂
Excellent video! Thank You Much! Been looking for a video on this job. Yours is the only one I have found. Probably one of the best auto part replacement videos I have ever seen. Sounds like you had trouble getting the replacement hose. No dealerships or part houses have it .I had to order from japan also. In short, you made my day!!
Hello! This is huge to me thank you so very much! That is exactly what I was hoping to accomplish by sharing :) that’s encouragement to keep filming!
Yea I had to order from Japan, too. The world is a bit of a mess right now and that’s why. My Honda dealer says $35 if they could get it but they can’t. So I laid down $90 in Japan
Hi Drew , please provide website information for ordering this part. My 2008 crv has the same problem. At first I thought the gasket on the WATER passage unit went bad. Then I saw the end of this pipe got badly rusted. Thank you in advance.
If you are watching this to do the job on a 2007 CRV, good luck. It’s a different air intake and support. Had I been able to remove the single upper support bolt, it might have been an easier job but it was going to snap off which would have been a nightmare leaving me with no intake support so I couldn’t get the intake out. I removed the lower support bolt which forced me to simply pull the intake forward. No possible way to get it out to the right no matter how much you try to remove. That meant I had to disconnect all wires on the right side of engine, airbox base, upper rad hose etc. was no fun getting the pipe out especially with the intake in the way. Had to cut the pipe above the starter which let me remove in two pieces. Absolute bitch getting the pipe out of the housing. If I could have heated the pipe it might have helped. I kept soaking it with wd40 and I was twisting it back and fourth while pulling upward. After an hour or so I got it out safely. Hardest and scariest thing I have had to deal with.
Yikes I am sorry to hear it! Yea this isn’t an easy job. Did you say your 2007 looks different?
If i recall correctly the part number was the same 07-11
@@DrewGarage Heater pipe is probably the same but not the intake and support bracket. I can’t believe they use 10mm head bolts going into aluminum in some places when you know it will seize. My vehicle wasn’t even very rusty.
@@jamessurname2285 sadly they don’t care. I just did a belt tensioner on a 2006-11 civic.
2.5” long bolt, 10mm fine thread GRADE 5 with an ***8mm ALLEN KEY HEAD!!!!*** at 41ftlbs. No chance that will go well - but they build cars to be assembled. Not fixed. Sad but true. And I’m a major honda enthusiasts. We drove our 4 kids all over (8100 miles on road trips alone last year) in a 199,400 mile odyssey
Now im scared to do this job.i have 07 crv .mine is aluminum planum
I would have to replaced the starter while the intake was off, it looked horrible. But, great job replacing the coolant pipe.
Thank you! Sadly it wasn’t my car and it wasn’t in the budget. But happy to say my wife’s odyssey starter like that for 100k before it failed haha
Please subscribe !
I took your advice and replaced the starter as well. It was a crystal bitch even with all of that room to work.
Thank you
Even though I'm not working on the same vehicle I have the exact same problem but easier to get to on a 4 cly Ford my problem is the O Ring and minor rust this video helped me understand to remove the pipe at the O Ring spot thanks
Shoot I appreciate that! Glad to hear it’s for everyone not just honda :) please subscribe!
Tkns ❤for video help me alot i wached three times.and i replaced 07 crv pipe 267k.pipe didn't brake lucky.
Thank you very much for making this video. I am comfortable wrenching on an engine but wanted to see someone else do the work first. After seeing this engineering mess I think I will let my local shop do the work. After living in New England and now the Midwest I know my Honda is rusted through. I will let them work through the rust. I usually don’t comment too much on TH-cam. You made an excellent video. Very thorough. I have liked and subscribed. Best wishes and Happy New Year!
Thank you so very much for reaching out! This comment is extremely appreciated and will be cherished :-) have a wonderful new year
@@DrewGarage thank you very much for the wonderful how to video. I'm still on the fence of attempting to do this job myself as I am in nys and have enough rust to make me afraid of rounding off a bolt head in the wrong place and turning a 3 or 4 hour job into a whole day project lol. I wanted to ask, do you happen to have any idea how much a honda dealership would charge to do this job? Thank you for your help!
@@jefftaylor4678 hi thank you for the compliment! I have no idea what they’d charge but I assume a lot. I’ve been there, done that with the bolt head rounding. I just take the next size down - usually if it’s a 10mm, I’ll grab a 3/8 for example, and tap it on with a brass hammer, then replace that nut or bolt. I just did the timing belt on my wife’s Odyssey, and this happened with some of the timing cover bolts. The Honda dealer could not get them because the world is on fire so to speak, so I put the damaged ones in the easiest places to get a hammer next time. Sucks, but part of the fun ha ha
Funny thing, I did end up doing this repair myself and used your video as my guide. If I recall I saved over $600 by doing it myself. The part off of ebay cost me $20. I was glad to even get the part as nobody had it. Thanks again for your video!
@@forrestgriggs8667 that’s amazing to hear thank you!
Great video, gave me the confidence to try it myself. After changing the starter I knew how big of a job this was going to be, but sure is nice learning to do it myself.
Thank you for the kind words :-) glad it worked out for you
What a horrible design for such an awesome vehicle! How did you not lose your cool lol!! Great job and excellent video. Watches it twice now very helpful I dread the day this comes.
I really appreciate this! There were definitely a couple times where I made some comments I ended up editing out of the final video, I don't wanna undermine the quality of such a fine vehicle, but I agree, it is completely ridiculous. There has to of been a better way… If it didn't feed the throttlebody, it's clear a rubber hose around the side/back of the motor would be more appropriate, but yes, agreed. I hated this job! That's why I felt it so critical to share
Not a hard job as long as you don't try and shortcut by working around things that you can just remove. On an 08 CRV I also remove the upper radiator core support and hood latch as well as the airbox assembly both upper and lower. Makes the job much easier... I would recommend replacing the Thermostat casing and housing while in there along with the small heater hose that runs parallel to the pipe. If your starter has not been replaced give it a good look over, they are cheap enough AM to replace preemptively
This is helpful, thank you. The dealer must 4 or 5 hundred dollars to do this.
1200.00
Wow everyone should make a video this good!!! Awesome
Thank you! Great video!

I found the heater pipe on eBay for about $60, with part number 19510-RTB-000 (mine is 2008 Honda CRV). Thermostat housing part numbers vary, the one I got was 63670. I hope this helps someone, as the dealerships were wayyyyy backordered when I tried to get it.
Yea it’s terrible. Just got another on from eBay my self :(
Good video this is going to make it alot simpler to get that stupid metal pipe off

The video is going to help. Gonna replace all hoses for clear ones. Thanks
Thank you! Hope it does
Very nicely done video. Clear & described all issues one might encounter. Having to do this job soon and am dreading it. And … yes I went the eBay route for that part as well …. For 3 times the price 😐
Thanks you for the kind works :) that's why this channel exists! Having "been there done that," I want to share and help people. Hopefully it goes well for you! And yea the 2020-21 tax sucks. That part was $29-33 my cost before Covid.
Godspeed amigo! Reach out if you
Need anything and please like/subscribe :)
Can you provide part number please?
Thanks for the heads up on the job 👍
You’re most welcome! If you’re not subscribed, please do so! Lots of videos like this! And we’ve got at least four k motors right now and usually more! So if that’s your engine we’ll have more videos :)
Wow! Thank you for this video!
Great video thanks
Looking at that, I decided it was too complicated for DIY. How much time do you figure the dealer would take to do this job ?
Goodness I have no idea, at least four or five hours I would think. Please subscribe :)
DEALER TOLD ME 5 -6 HRS FOR A $61 cad PART.. NOT INCLUDING ADEALER PRICE ANTIFREEZE....TOTALLY CRAZY @@DrewGarage
Just did my 07crv the pipe had a gash like corrosion almost like and explosion, however now I have a ticking sound?
Just Did this job and now the car is revving high/surging and won't stay running, I never touched the throttle body. Anyone else have this issue?🤷
I'm torn between paying a guy to do this or to do it myself. I've done the brutal 5.0 mustang (80s) water pump with the aluminum bolts that snap off in the block so this cant be worse, right?
hello there. Where did you buy that piece? I am looking for a CRV 2012 with the same problem, Honda 19510-R40-A60 that is the part number. Is a little diferent but more or les is the same.
Hello! I bought it on eBay, for about three times the price of the Honda dealer, because it's back ordered in the United States
Just got the pipe out. Used the seal puller too. No cracking but I scored the inside of the bore a little from using the puller. You think I should replace it. I'd hate to put the whole thing together just to do the whole job over again.
Depends on how far down. If it’s “above” the o ring, you’re likely fine
I have an 07 civic Si I believe it’s all the same I’m not sure
That’s a very similar motor. K20. This should give you the basics :) please like and subscribe if you haven’t already :)
What a bad design shame on honda engineers and choice to use a non stainless steel part.
I am inclined to agree with you. I am always careful what I say in the videos, of course, because I am not an engineer by trade, but I have designed my own power trains for hot rods, and every little bit in peace that makes them go down the road including their HVAC systems etc., and I always show respect and concern for the person who may have to work on it in the future. I to am disappointed by this design
@@DrewGarage I got the part and could already see inside the pipe was a trace of rust on the inside, the out side is just painted but on this pipe it seems to rust from the inside out, best to use coolant with the best rust inhibitors.
@@Noexcusis that’s terrible :( I use factory coolant in everything so hopefully Honda’s coolant doesn’t aid in rusting
if it was made of stainless steel it'd cost more to produce therefore raising the cost of the vehicle
whats the part number? hondaautomotive parts has it discontinued .
Look on eBay. That’s where I’ve always gotten mine since they went on back order at honda
Thanks 🙏🏻
You are most welcome :-) please subscribe! Anytime I come across a job that hasn’t been covered well, I’ll make sure to video it. And I get a lot of K 24 Hondas
thanks for the information. can you please tell me the correct name for the heater pipe?
Heater pipe is actually what it is called. Coolant pipe may work, too but heater pipe is the honda term. I am glad it helped :) please subscribe, this channel has a lot of honda content :)
How many hours does this take?
Would you know if the pipe from any CRV with the 2.4 fit the Element? thanks
I’m not sure off the top of my head, but it is important to note there are two different pipes under 07 through 11 CRV… I would look up the part numbers for both that will tell you for sure
@@DrewGarage thanks Honda has either discontinued the heater pipe for my 04 Element or it’s on back order dealers don’t know, ditto for Dorman. I was hoping that maybe pre 2007 CRV or Accords would fit but I have been unable to verify this. I have looked around on the internet and no one seems to know.
@@HotRod-wv4vm try eBay I had to get one from Japan
@@DrewGarageYep tried that already. I did email Honda USA Headquarters to inquire if they in fact have discontinued it or if any other Honda parts are interchangeable. Will keep you posted. Mine is not leaking but I want to get one just in case.
@@HotRod-wv4vm man that’s rough. Crazy to think something like that could end a car
Drew, part number please.
Hello! It’s different for every model and sometimes different for different years / a 2007-9 and a 2010-11 CRV are different, for example. Best to look it up on a honda parts site like honda parts connection or call your local dealer
Why the heck is this designed this way ?
I totally get where you’re coming from. And I know the answer. Sadly, it is of manufacturing. Don’t forget, the engine is assembled separately from the car, and then shoved up into the engine bay from underneath when the car is made! Sucks for us. Please subscribe
10:40 lmao
I wish you would have talked less..
I want to watch the video but you talk too much.repeating yourself over and over
Wow that’s quite unkind. Others have said they found it helpful. Sounds like you don’t like me/my style which is fine, but the video still shows exactly what to do to get through this job
You’re old enough to read and write, I’m sure at some point in your childhood someone told you if you don’t have anything nice to say, perhaps it better not to say anything? Just try to help
