Re: Radiator Change 900 1994

Well you're in luck then. The OEM radiators are not ONLY plastic, but metal as well. By your theory, that will allow you the best of both: Cracking and corroding.

I've never had a Volvo radiator corrode... yet. But my all-metal one is pretty nice, from Nissens. For $125, I'd have to see a pretty compelling reason to pay for the OEM one.

I also have 3 OEM metal/plastic radiators, one from 1986 (in my 91...?!) That one is gonna go away pretty soon.

Besides, I've actually never had a radiator corrode on the inside. It's usually a matter of using good coolant and the right mixture, and changing it out at the proper times.
