Re: Radiator replacement 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Glen on  Fri Nov 16 00:41 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Although not "cheap" price wise, the Volvo OEM radiators are actually very good radiators and last a long time w/o problems, unless you drive over and hit something, breaking off a plastic side tank support (common).

Your OEM radiator lasted you about 9 yrs and 150K miles, not bad really. The aftermarket radiator might cost less initially but if it leaks shortly after its parts warranty expires, you'll be SOL. Just a thought.

There's some things that I just won't go cheap on and radiators are one of them. I don't like being stranded on the X-way leaking coolant, usually never at a "good" time either.
