It looks like the medium size radiator is no longer available from Volvo for the 940.
I bought a new radiator from Volvo, specifically for my vehicle and received one marked 8603899.
When I took the old one out it was marked 8603901 and it was slightly smaller than the new, not so tall. Engine is B230-FD, N/A and manual with ECC.
I could not see how the new radiator would fit and I thought I had received the wrong part.
After a bit of thinking and checking I realized it might fit after all. I greased the rubber grommets on the short ends of the hole in the front member, pressed hard and managed to squeeze down the radiator in the hole.
I think Volvo has dropped 8603901 from stock to cut costs.
