Thinking to replace heater core on my 1998 V90 (climate system needs work anyway so with other things replaced why not heater core). Any opinions on which brand to use? I've looked at the inexpensive Nissens and decided not to use it (not putting trust in the plastic couplings). The Volvo one from the dealer is about $300, and there's a Spectra Premium one which I believe is fully aluminum (though some pictures show copper/brass body and couplings) which is about $70. Wonder if it's worth biting the bullet with the genuine part or would the Spectra do? Any other brands out there for the 700/900 heater core?
Thanks,
Vlad
