In a previous post I was seeking information about why I had oil in my coolant expansion tank. My hunch was the oil cooler in the radiator, which was also suggested by Rich from Bay13. I replaced the radiator and flushed that system with Shout (laundry cleaner) to break down and remove as much oil as possible. While I was there I replaced the upper and lower hoses and thermostat. It was a major job and took about 4 hours with the help of my brother and his mechanic bay. Everthing looks good so far. Just wondering if anyone has seen this type of failure with the Volvo radiator?
