    How many miles, and what are the symptoms?

    Is the core leaking?

    The 2008–2015 Toyota Universal Flat Rate Manual (FM24H0U, available by subscription to techinfo.toyota.com) allows 4.5 labor hours for operation 870251, Heater Radiator Unit Subassembly, Remove & Replace, on NHW20 series vehicles. The part itself (part number 87107-47060, shown in catalog Figure 87-14, Heating & Air Conditioning - Cooler Unit) has a list price of $458.37, but there are less-costly aftermarket substitutes. Since the A/C system is discharged and recharged, there may also be additional costs for refrigerant, oil, and O rings.

    In a thread from 2013, an estimate of $1200 was mentioned; this was for a dealer using the Toyota part.
