Have a 00 c5 6 speed convertible with 177600.
My recovery tank is leaking and I'm replacing it along with all the hoses I can find so my question is how many hose are there? I'm building an order on rockauto using mostly dayco products but I need help on all the hoses to purchase. The upper and lower radiator hose is no problem and a couple that run to the water pump seem self explanatory. It's the smaller ones that I'll need help ordering. I see 1 advertised that's short and bent like a V that I don't know if I need.

Any body have the OEM part numbers?

I'll flush it all out and I'm looking for a good thread on doing this. I plan on taking the radiator out so I can clean the AC condenser and the radiator along with the front of motor.
Thanks for the help

I'm not sure which hose looks like a 'V'. Perhaps this is the small hose which runs from the bypass pipe back up to the throttle body? There is a hose which connects to the passenger's side top of the radiator and runs to the throttle body, then a small hose which runs from the other side of the throttle body to the bypass pipe which connect to the block just under the intake manifold. Look to the passenger's side of the throttle body towards the bottom, and you should see this hose. I'm not looking at it at the moment, but I believe this is the correct routing.

Upper radiator hose which comes from the driver's side top of the radiator, to the front of the water pump.

Lower radiator hose which comes from the passenger's bottom side of the radiator, to the thermostat housing (larger passenger side outlet connected to the water pump).

Surge Tank outlet, and Surge Tank inlet hoses which connect to the smaller outlets on the passenger side of the water pump and come from the "T" at the bottom of the surge tank.

I went with the silicone hose set, from Corvette Forum supporting vendor 'CCA'......

The parts exp helped. Not all the hoses parts numbers crossed referenced. I have a total of 8 hoses. I think the small V shaped hose is the bypass that runs off the driver side of the throttle body.
There's 2 that connect to the passenger side of the water pump and they are shaped similarly to the pics on website for parts. 1 runs from the heater core and the other from the recovery tank.
The 2 smaller ones that come from the radiator and recovery tank are labeled that way. The upper and lower radiator hoses are also labeled as such.
There's 1 additional hose coming from the heater core that is nearly straight. It attaches to to backside of the T on the bottom of the recovery tank. It looks similar in size to its partner and this is another I was looking for a part # for.

Any good video or threads on flushing the system out? Like I said before I'll be pulling the radiator out so I can clean the condenser and the front of the motor. I don't know if the coolant has ever been flushed?

I believe there are 8 hoses for the coolant/heater system. At least that is what my dealer found for me when I asked about it.
