Hey Guys,

I want to replace a damaged part on my 2007 base model LS460, but I don't know what to call it and have had no luck trying to look it up.

The part is a molded, curvy, black plastic pipe about 2 inches in diameter and less than a foot long. It looks a lot like a typical piece of the air intake tract. One end attaches to the upper, rear, drivers side corner of the radiator assembly. The other end attaches to a black plastic box (looks like an air cleaner) that houses at least one computer and various electrical connections. Apparently the mystery pipe brings cooling air to the computer housing.

Somehow this piece of air pipe got damaged before I got the car. I'm guessing it somehow ended up on the pavement and got run over, as it has a couple of holes scraped into it. It probably doesn't cause any big problem, but it looks like it's not very expensive and it's easy to replace, so why not?

Any idea what this is called?

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a fresh air intake tube that got lunched during a front end collision, which was deemed unimportant enough to replace.

Hi Mike,
Here's a link on the parts site to the cooling system on your vehicle. You can search through this to identify the mystery part.

Based on your description, I took a guess that it is part of the cooling system. The diagram is attached. Perhaps your part is 13 or 14 or 21. If it is none of them, follow the links to other systems within the car to keep searching. Good luck!
