Default Oil cooler pipes.

My 1996 940 B230FK is loosing 0.5 litres of coolant for the last 4 months in 150 miles of driving. 204,000 miles.

From max reading to just above the outlet on header tank pipe.

The rear hoses look ok, can't see any leaks. Turbo hoses, bottom, top hoses replaced 4 years ago with genuine Volvo and rad replaced with a Nissens one. Did have a bit of water on top of water pump, near top seal but now been dry for a while. If the below does not fix I'll replace pump with an SKF brand.

When I had an oil and filter change recently the oil cooler pipes were very oil contaminated and damp, so going to change them.

Has anyone the Volvo part numbers? Believe there are two pipes. Any write up of how to do the job?

Anyone have the Volvo coolant part number? Going to order the parts at Paul Rigby as saves postage costs.

Needs a bit of TLC.

Many thanks. James
