Have a look at the image below. The bottom radiator hose number 2 then splits into another two hoses, which hose do you need theoretically number 2 is the bottom hose.

Also there is a difference in number 2 between auto and manual vehicles, which do you need?

I am not sure. I bought one with a part number 243331 about 5 years ago, and it was supposed to be the upper one. Just had her in for a service and they recommend replacing them all. So I might as well get them all. She was built in May 2001 and is an automatic .

The numbers of the part numbers, 1, 2 3 etc are cross referenced to the numbers of the parts in the picture below I posted. So 1 is the top radiator hose. 2 is bottom radiator hose and so on..
