From first hand experience, do NOT purchase a Nissens radiator!

While the price is attractive, the Nissens radiators have a nasty habit of failing within two years.

Spend the extra money, and purchase the radiator from Volvo.

While you are at it, you should also purchase a new thermostat, expansion tank cap, and coolant, from Volvo.

If it were me, I would also (at least) replace the upper, and lower, radiator hoses-if not the hoses coming off the expansion tank.

I hope that everyone is having an absolutely splendid Sunday evening! :)
