Hallo,
I have crashd my car and damage the cooler radiator. I have a radiator
from volvo V70 2456ccm disel and my car is s60 2435ccm benzin. The
radiator apears to be same. Can I use it as a replacement. Thank you.

same part #??

I'd say it isn't.  Diesels run at different temps than a gasoline engine.

I would think that they are not compatible as the diesel usually requires
more coolant capacity than a petrol engined car.

All the best, Peter.

Sorry I cant see why a larger radiator would be an issue as the thermostat
wont open till its warm enough anyway ?
