Thanks Goran -- already ordered !

I can confirm the same pipe is needed for both 4.2 and 3.7 engines AQG, AQF, ARU, AQH, AVP, AUW, AKC, BCS, AYS.

There is typo in eBay ad. Correct original plastic pipe part number is 077-117-411-A.

Thanks.

I'm just reading that guide, as I am sure the little pipe thing is leaking on my car.

sheeeeeettt!!!

has anyone on here carried out the job? it looks pretty involving! changing a cambelt or clutch on my GT4 is easy, because I have done it many times and removed anything that isn't essential. But on the S8?....

I did this on my FL S8.

Patience, patience and more patience...

Please make sure you have the tools mentioned in the DIY.
Took me about 8-9 hours...

i'm going to start prepping, and when the celica engine is back together and the car running, it's time to pull the S8 to bits

Hello does anybody have a drawing of the tube or its measurements so I can make my own and maybe make a few more. It's easer than stripping the car to measure it. And I can check I've got the correct size O rings
Cheers Dave

Default Here's a pic of mine that I bought on Ebay

I don't know if this helps in any way, but I posted a photo of the part in a forum thread here:
