I am going to check my AT fluid today and drain some of the coolant to look for transmission oil. I have begun to look at Radiators and am wondering which company I should go with. Eeuroparts sells a Valeo and FCP Groton sells a Nissens. (There isn't any way to fix the radiator, is there?)

Is it necessary to use Volvo coolant, or if I have some other coolant kicking around can I use that?

Assuming it is tranny fluid in the coolant, would I have to do a full transmission flush and would that be enough (I wouldn't have to flush it a couple of times, would I)? I've been looking on the various volvo sites and ATF fluid seems to go for $13+ a quart. Why is it so expensive? Can I just go for the generic Dex III stuff at Advanced Autoparts?

Would the radiator come with a temp sensor, or would I have to replace that as well?

Will Uro hoses suffice: that is what Eeruo sells?

Are there other radiator parts that I will need, or will the radiator come with all of them?

Should I install a new water pump?

Anything else I should do if I have the radiator out?

Thanks a lot,

Jimmy
