V70R P2 Radiator leak
Dear forum,
My V70R 2003 has developed a slight but annoying radiator leak. A brand new genuine replacement from Volvo (FRF Swansea) is going to set me back about £250 incl. carriage. I've read that vibration from our cr@p uk roads can lead to premature failure on the the collars given the way the radiator is mounted. Has anyone had any experience with an OEM rad for their V70R or S60R? I fitted a Nissens rad to my golf not long ago and it was a good fit and saved me £££ so wondering if this would be a good route for the Volvo. Also, any tips for improved rubber mounts for the new one when it goes in? Thanks in advance Chris |

FWIW, I managed to find a sticker on the top of the rad in my car this morning. Its a Valeo radiator and the Volvo part number is 30645151. I've managed to track down a Hella rad for £110 from here, so I might give that a go.

I suggest you do some research and read some reviews before buying from onlinecarparts.co.uk (which BTW is in Germany).
