I would just replace it. I just replaced the rad on my 960, Volvo quoted a silly price but I bought one on line for less than half the price and fitted it myself the following morning in less than an hour. http://www.carcooling.co.uk/ Steve H wow...doing a rad swap out in < 1 hour is damm fast....congradts...what the volvo "book time" on this job?...i would guess at least 3 hrs... > > On Jan 15, 12:12 pm, "Uncle Vinnie" <vinri...@optonline.not.net> > > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Steve H I was thinking of replacing it on my own.. hmm... how big a job is it?? > wow...doing a rad swap out in < 1 hour is damm > fast....congradts...what the volvo "book time" on this [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >> >> Steve H SignatureB'rgds, Vinnie : I was thinking of replacing it on my own.. hmm... how big a job is it?? I just did my son's 97 850 it was about 4 hours following the instructions on bay 13 on volvospeed.com. I got the radiator online from Autohaus for about 175. If you are tight on cash, go to a U Pull It, find one that looks good, and take it to a radiator shop for testing. If it tests OK, have the shop clean it, then you install it. |
