Replace the Thermostat, and coolant PS Dont use Generic 850 96

Perfect time to do the cooling system maintenence.

Do replace the thermostat, and now is the perfect time to replace the coolant.

Also, you wont be able to do this one yourself, because of the angle on the torx screw on the thermostat. Its cheap to have the dealer or mechanic do it. Just pay i think what will be about $125.

Volvo's always run in the middle of the temp reading, if not its usually the thermostat.

By the way, placing the cardboard wont work anyway, i have tried on a my 740 when the thermo stuck open on the road, it wont even register heat.

USE VOLVO PARTS, AND COOLANT
