Evap VSV Pack
Took my 2005 ES330 in because of a check engine light. Diagnosis came back "Check engine lamp-P0442 - cracked line @ evap VSV pack on the intake manifold. Evap Valve Set #25701-20220 needs to be replaced."
He's charging me $325 for the entire VSV pack, plus labor, but I'm thinking I can piecemeal it together for a lot less. Has anyone here dealt with this before? What parts did you use, and where did you order them from?

25701-20220 is $200 online.
Some of the hoses can be bought separately but the ones that tend to fail cannot

This site tends to have some of the best prices but check shipping charges as well.

Thanks for the diagram, that's awesome!
So it looks like the only hoses that can't be purchased separately are the 2 thick ones that go between the VSV valves. Am I reading that correctly?

Hello,
There are two types of vacuum lines in those cars, 3.5mm and 5.5mm, here you can find more detailed information.
5.5mm lines are not sold separately at the dealership, you will have to source aftermarket ones. The good news is that 7/32in hose matches it pretty closely and it can be found at any car parts store. With that, Toyota appears to be using EPDM rubber for their lines, which is what makes them last as long, here you can find said EPDM hose on sale, though it may be a while before you will see it.
Hope this helps and best of luck!

I recently replaced all the EVAP hoses including the Charcoal Canister on a 1998 ES300. The valve set is very similar, so it may help you to see how I did it. I also had to order some spare hose to get the ones that cannot be ordered from the dealer. I ordered Gates 27039 7/32” non-reinforced vacuum hose from RockAuto and it fit perfectly.

So I found the Gates 7/32" hose at the OReilly by my house. I pulled the engine cover off, and immediately saw the crack they told me about. When I tried to disconnect it, the hose fell apart in my fingers so I guess it definitely was bad. I cut off a piece of the Gates, connected it, started the car and cleared the code. I'll keep you guys posted on if it comes back.
Thanks to everyone on this thread for their input. If this works, it'll end up being a $5 fix when the shop wanted to charge me $445!
I do have one more question: the old hose was covered in a thick, foam outer layer. I'm guessing to protect against heat. Does anyone know what this stuff is called, and if the hose needs it to work properly?
