I fitted a Nissens rad to my diesel 940 about ten years ago and have had no problems. A couple of weeks back I fitted a Nissens rad to my 1998 V90.

When I looked at the corrosion (external to the cooling circuit) on the V90's original Volvo rad, I was glad that I had bit the bullet and made the change. Particularly around the aluminium fingers that, around the bottom of the radiator, hold the plastic container in place.
