replacement radiator 900

posted by  someone claiming to be augie on  Mon Sep 19 05:36 CST 2005 [RELATED]

So the radiator on my 95 turbo began leaking at the radiator to side-tank seam as predicted at the 10 year mark. My questions are:
1) what replacement radiator should I purchase - the OE or a quality aftermarket, such as Nissens?
2) where can I get the best price on the recommended unit?
3) what type antifreeze should I use? My literature research suggests the following: if I put in the OE unit, use Volvo AF; if I put in a Nissen, use dex-cool because the VOLVO AF will degrade the solder points on a Nissens. Any other advice out there concerning matching type of AF to brand purchased? Can or should I use Dex-Cool with the OE unit? Thanks for any advice.
