I'm putting in a power steering cooler (similar to this DIY: http://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng84.shtml ) since mine was leaking. I cut both the hoses running to the stock U-bend cooler and noticed that one of the hoses is running to the reservoir, and another wayyyy back into the engine bay.

I foolishly thought that both of the hoses coming off the reservoir went to the U-bend. What am I supposed to do about the hose thats running into the engine bay? Its not long enough to reach the new cooler that I bought...

I guess I could just cut off a piece of the old cooler, stick it in there and then extend a hose from it that way but is that what everyone else did? I don't see a reference to this on any thread.
