.
An external cooler would be great under very hard towing conditions , but the radiator cooler also HEATS the gearbox in cooler conditions it is important that the gearbox can operate at over 100C to keep condensation and water evaporated out from the gearbox , volvo really do know best . It is very rare the cooler in the radiator leaks , usually the radiator would rot its core before then .
