This is very reassuring. I'm running into the same problem myself. Ordered the newer radiator, based on the diagrams on realoem.com, I didn't know about it needing an extra hose that wasn't there before. I called up the parts dealer and I was pretty skeptical at what he's telling me, and then came across your post. Thanks for sharing.
One question though, the new radiators are missing the drain plugs that were on the previous ones, how do you flush your radiator now? Does the new hose come with a drain plug?
