leaking radiator S70 1999



All done now.
After a little tugging the Tranny lines came out.
This car is a turbo but has no separate oil lines just the transmission oil cooler lines. The intercooler with its spaccers are a trick since the last one in did not re attach them and the fell out I had to guess at the correct position. This is really a 4 hands job.

I put an extra safety (tie) to make sure that the tranny o rings are seated and don't pop out. I believe new clips should go on the tranny lines.

I'm a little worried... I ordered a double row radiator and was sent a single row. All fittings mate up but I'm not sure if it will cool the same.
I'm checking to see what they charged me for.



I had to install it or walk this weekend. It seems to cool okay.

One thing I noticed after reassembly the car doesn't seem to rev or pull the same.
I'm just guessing that when I reattached all the lines that the transmission sensed the fluid pressure as the cooler refilled and the engine detuned.
On the S80 the computer would tell you something,, but I guess I'll have to read and reset codes for the s70???

BTW
Is it normal for the coolant to check low the first couple of runs?? filling voids..I don't see in puddles under the car.
