Wow, lots of misinformation floating around on your diesel. Use Mann or factory Volvo oil filters on it and just run Bosch fuel filters. When you change the fuel filter make sure to use a Bosch filter and when you spin it off take the old filter and poor the fuel out of it into the new filter before you spin it on. When you fire it up with the new filter installed it will bog down and try to stall because it is running out of fuel, running a diesle completely out of fuel is not something you really want to experience and if you do not prime the new filter with the old one you run a good chance of doing just that.
On the cooling issue you need to verify that it is in fact overheating and that the fan clutch and the rest of the system is working per design. You will probably find that you need a new radiator and a thermostat while you are in there. The D24s are known for getting air bubbles in the cooling system so we always made sure that the block was full off coolant by pouring it in the upper radiator hose until it was full, reconnect the hose to the radiator and then fill the rest of the system. Make sure that you use good coolant on that thing too, I always use factory Volvo coolant.
Make sure you have records on the timing and pump belts on that thing. They need to get replaced every 75K.
