I have a hose assembly that my local Chrysler dealer wants 195.00 for.

I borrowed this pic from another post.

If you look just up from the red circled broken line you will see a small canister withe a 90 degree elbow and three hoses attached, one of which leads to the coolant reservoir.

What is this assembly for?

Can I just find new hoses to attach to the canister?

Can I check to see if the canister is still functioning or not?

Where can I get this assembly at a more reasonable price if the whole thing needs replacing.

The Chrysler parts guy would not give me the part number either.

thanks for your help
