From:Jens Jakob Andersen

Hi

I have the expansionb tank. Yup.

I have the overflow tank.

I am missing pipe between those two.

ANy valves or similar there, or just a piece of pipe?

You should have two tanks in the system. As seen from the rear of the 
van looking forward, the expansion tank should be on the left, just 
forward of the bumper. The overflow tank should be in the middle just in 
front of the bumper and with the fill cap exposed to the access door 
where the vehicle tag mounts. There should be a small hose from the 
expansion tank cap over to the bottom right side of the overflow tank.  
There should be two hoses or connections  to the expansion tank. And 
there should be a sensor in the top of the expansion tank.

If you don't have all these things..........then Yup!, your cooling 
system is incomplete.
