chris09QP 0 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hi guys, having enjoyed 10 years hassle free motoring, my avensis now needs rear brake pipes and failed MOT due to this. I am reading horror stories of removing the fuel tank to access the routing, does anyone know if this is the case and or give a ball park for how much this job could be. I know that the pipes are relatively cheap but labor seems to be the subject of debate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faz778 5 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 My Avensis failed its MOT for this same issue a couple of years ago. The pipes are steel, covered with a plastic coating, except where they connect to the rear brakes where they've got no coating. It's a surprisingly stupid design for a Toyota. My local garage replaced the pipes with copper ones for £200 all in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Owdjockey 23 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hi Chris I suspect it is the same exposed area as what ultimately did for my 54 plate D4D. See my post from last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
