[D24]- Custom radiator? 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Andrzej on  Thu Jul 1 22:51 CST 2010 [RELATED]

Hi all.
I've bought '90 740, with N/A D24 engine. Good condition but radiator is broken in unrepairable manner. So, I'm looking for a replacement but new one for D24 is hard to find in my country and damn expensive (they cost more that a whole 940 in average condition).

So my questions are:

- can I use D24T's radiator? It seems to be a bit higher, original D24 dimensions are 595x415 milimeters, but D24T are 595x509 mm. Are they easy replaceable? Seems they are but I'd like to be sure... It's quite possible to find used one in my area.

- can I use radiator from any other Volvo models? I mean 960 3.0 or others, they are MUCH cheaper than dedicated for diesels. I'm aware of cooling capacity requirement for diesel engines, but maybe?

- or maybe anyone fitted with success any radiator from other car? BMW/Mercedes or something else?

Thank you in advance for your interest :)
