Dear hf63,

Hope you're well. Even at a 30% discount to the "list" price ($355), the Volvo branded item will still be $248, nearly $100 more than the Ready-Aire unit offered by an e-Bay seller.

Never having held either a factory-original or Volvo Brand replacement heater core, I can't say whether or not either is of higher quality than the Ready-Aire unit.

If someone can post the weight (pounds/ounces or kilos/grams) of the Volvo-Brand unit, I'll compare it with the weight of the Ready-Aire unit. If the Ready-Aire heater core is much lighter, than would suggest the Volvo Brand unit is going to last longer. If the two are the same weight, then I'd guess there's not likely to be much, if any, difference in service life.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
