Stivino 113 Posted July 6 I'm going to be doing some brake work on my Avensis soon and while I have the calipers off, I'd like to replace the brake line flexible hose gaskets. Has anybody got the correct part number and/or the best place to source them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konrad C 932 Posted July 6 There are sites like ToyoDIY, 7zap and the following where you can obtain info - http://www.japan-parts.eu/toyota/eu/2008/avensis/adt251r-awfqxw/3_273550_145_352W/powertrain-chassis/4708_brake-tube-clamp/2#47313P 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anybody got the correct part number and/or the best place to source them? I assume you mean the copper sealing washers? Nearly all Toyotas use 10mm ID x 15mm OD x 1mm thick. You can buy them from brake factors or get a bag from Amazon or Ebay for a few pounds. Don't use any kind of sealant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stivino 113 Posted July 6 I've got copper washers that will do the job. I just wanted to see if I could get the original Toyota ones without having to sell a kidney. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best place to source them is the dealer. Around £1.60ea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stivino 113 Posted July 7 I'm just off the phone to my local Toyota main stealer. It seems that if I want to buy the original I'm going to have to sell a kidney after all, they want £10.50 each for them. I politely declined to buy them. 😀 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not the price of a single copper washer. Maybe the double washer? They appear to be £8.51+VAT ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerg 285 Posted July 7 Just out of curiosity, to see what these look like, I googled that part number. It also fits an Aston Martin Cygnet (so, a heavily reworked Toyota iQ) for £3.22 + vat. Assuming that that is an up to date price, then it is way below half price of the Toyota dealer item. Who'd have guessed? Toyota price is dearer than an Aston Martin specialist?! https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/part/259827/astonmartin/4738950020/gasket-flexible-hose.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flash22 395 Posted July 7 They get you on the delivery charge, i wonder if the aygo part is the same Edit. it's used on everything from an iq to a Hilux and no end of lexus cars - i wonder if there is anything aftermarket Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
