I am debating to buy rad hoses from FcpGroton.The manufacturer name is APA.They cost on average a 20th of the oem cost from my local Volvo dealer.If somebody has purchased this brand could you tell me if they fit properly and are they functioning without any problems.Thanks Robert.

So don't buy them from the local dealer $$$$: contact www.borton.com for far better prices and service.

The BEST hoses by far are OEM: they last forever. I have never seen a Volvo hose fail: it's always the radiator or heater valve or water pump.

My OEM heater hose failed leading to the demise of my head through an overheat. They may be tough but not bulletproof.

Got a full set (Rad & Htr) from them last OCT for my 945. Aside from the rad hoses being a bit tight (I had to remove the radiator to get the lower hose on) they have been fine since then.

I just bought a set of FCPG hoses for my '97 960 (98k miles) and they look just fine: I know I've got to change out the old ones sooner or later so I have them on stand by; I'm one of those guys who waits for a leak before I move--but I can see they are of good quality and they match up fine. I didn't buy the heater hoses.
Hope that helps!
