Is my Volvo Original radiator on borrowed time? 200 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be Bond. James Bond. on  Tue Feb 1 14:47 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I've got a 1992 245 with an original radiator at 218k miles that runs with many months of AC each year in the Texas heat (well, not right now but it'll be back...)

I spoze that this radiator could go this year or next or when...

Can anyone tell me if there are certain spots where they usually fail, and whether they show bulging or discoloration or any clues before they blow? I hate to throw out a radiator that's working perfectly fine, but I was just reading a thread about radiators and someone mentioned that the plastic tends to blow out instead of just springing a pinhole leak.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
