New approach to PT Cruiser power steering cooler repair

I previously posted a problem in getting a power steerin cooler
without an upgrade.
There has to be OE coolers for a 2001 PT Cruiser somewhere that I can
purchase
and have installed. I see no reason to pay hundreds of additional
dollars for an
upgrade. I only have 48K on the car. If I could get another 46K
without the upgrade
I'd be satisfied.

note below:

why not buy a transmission cooler at the local parts barn and use it?

PoD

And we have previously answered your reply. The only upgrade was adding the
hoses (return) to the cooler, If someone is telling you that there is more
labor to install this unit you need to find another person to work on your
vehicle.

Glenn, Chrysler told me that part of the upgrade was a new resorvoir.

And I forgot, new hoses, and of course a re-designed cooler, are part
of the upgrade.

All I wanted was an old style OE cooler.

you.

The part number is what I would really need. Im just wondering if the
reservoir and Pressure hose are leaking along with the cooler. Is that is
how the price got so high or are they not sure and just selling you
everything?

They claim they're selling me everything because it's an upgrade from
the parts installed when the car was new in 2001.

Pete I just ran your vin number and yes you are correct they did supersede
the cooler to a new number just recently and it does require installing a
new hose and resorvoir. It does not give us the info on why it was
changed. The part numbers are.
5272867ad hose
5272351aa resorvoir
5272354ae cooler
