Crossover Pipe - Replace Pre-Emptively?

[cperez]

A highly-regarded independent LR shop here in Denver quoted me around $550 for a new crossover pipe installed doesn't seem like that's too much? I have a 2013 LR4 with 92,000 miles.

I recently had my waterpump and both pipes replaced and it was just under $900 for the entire job. Roughly 1/2 was for parts and half for labor (slightly more for parts than labor). For market comparison's sake, this was in the DC market.

Anyone have the part number(s) for the crossover pipe for the 5.0?

That's what I thought. Thanks for confirming!

Considering the part is about $30 and I can do it in under an hour with my eyes closed, I’d say $550 is a bit pricey.

I’ll doubt though that you could get it done for much less...

I bit the bullet this morning and had the crossover replace by the Denver independent LR shop. $450 installed. Really glad I did because when they showed me the old part, there were two pieces of plastic on the hose fittings that broke off as they were pulling it out . They did a full inspection and pressure test on the cooling system and all checked out fine.

Goosed the ol' landy coming onto an on ramp and instantly smelled that sweet maple syrup (coolant) ---- lucky for me I was around the corner from the dealer. Sure enough, crossover pipe. Both the pipe and water pump were covered under warranty. whew...one less thing. I'll say I got lucky.

I just bought a ‘12. Had PPI done nothing of note with cooling system. This thread has me concerned that a PPI wouldn’t catch this and it should be replaced. Irrational?

Not irrational. Just know it could go (if not done recently). If you ever start to lose coolant or overheat, don’t try to make it to the exit, stop immediately.

Its an easy repair and I’ll do it as preventative maintenance (from now on) every two years.

Not irrational. A known failure point.
