Car Forum / Volvo Cars / January 200798 S70 T5 radiator removal
I'd like to get a definitive answer on this as I'm hearing 2 different answers. I need to replace the radiator and from what I can see, it's easier to remove it from the bottom and also this is what is illustrated in the Chilton's manual. (Only problem is, I need to jack up the car and don't have a lift.....will I have enough clearance?) However, some are saying it comes out from the top and that looks MUCH more problematic. (This is a '98, mind you). ? Thanks very much --Mike >I'd like to get a definitive answer on this as I'm hearing 2 different >answers.

Mike According to my Haynes manual (S70, V70 & C70 1996 to 1999) it's removed from the top.

And I will never forget them as long as I live, nor should any American. > From The Bottom you have to remove the 4 bolts that hold the A/C > Condenser, Inter cooler & the Radiator together after that the 2 bolts > that hold the radiator to the body of the car > Glenn No offense but that's not what I was asking. Is the preferred method to.... A: remove from the top? B: remove from the bottom? I guess I'll have to get the Haynes manual, compare it to my Chiltons (which says bottom) and decide for myself. Sorry Glenn that may have sounded "testy" and so I wanted to reply to my reply....as that wasn't my intention. YOU are the guy to ask -- aren't you a certified volvo tech? It sounds like it comes out from the bottom. The condenser stays in place....remove the hoses...the transmission and oil cooler feeds (4), remove the intercooler hose, and the radiator bolts and that should do it? Thanks. --Mike > Sorry Glenn that may have sounded "testy" and so I wanted to reply to my > reply....as that wasn't my intention.
