I'm looking for the coolant hose that goes from the top of the thermostat to the radiator. The realoem diagrams leave a lot to be desired, so I just want to be sure that the part number for that coolant hose is 11531286914, which is #2 on this diagram:

I'm not sure why you'd say that, "the diagrams leave a lot to be desired" they clearly show where the ends of each hose connects. Match that up with the car and you'll know what hose you need.

But it sort of doesn't matter. Unless replaced in the last 5-6 years you need all of the hoses (and a radiator & expansion tank).
