When I checked my car, it lacks this hose, altho there is what appears to be a factory setup which routes along the top of the radiator back to the tank. Am I somehow looking at the wrong part, or should I just buy the hose recommended and cut and plug the extra hose??
Thanks in advance for your help!

Crow, is that repair you have located where that smaller hose goes over to the overflow tank? A second question, that hose going from your overflow tank (the second hose), is it connected to anything? The three part hose (connections) shown IS the correct hose for the car. The two large hoses goes from radiator to engine. The smaller hose routes around to the overflow tank bottom from where that connection is closest to the top of the radiator. Hope this clarifies.
