Which had Aux Transmission Coolers as Standard
I thought of posting this in teh caravan / towing section, but reckon it fits here better... Does anyone know for certain which C70s (if any) had the aux transmission cooler fitted. Yes I knwo it was an optional for towing use, but didn't the more grunty V70s get them? I am fairly sure teh T5 C70 got it std..
Reason I ask is that at the breakers I need to know which cars I want to look at to get mine. The kit new is some £260 all in with brackets and a used C70 etc version would do me just as well. I got the rad (see pic of my rad) but now need the pipes, I could cobble something up but since I have been saying that for ever, best I get to the breakers... See the kit pics too...

I'm pretty certain it wasn't fitted as standard on any 850 or x70 - certainly not in our market although it may have been fitted as std in southern Europe and the Middle East. Even my 'R' spec cars only have the std in-radiator transmission cooler.

I've put this discovery in other posts related to thsi subject: Now here too:
It so happens the Volvo quick-release fitting is actually secured by a 3/8" BSP pipe thread to the standard in-radiator cooler so you can remove that, and replace with a 3/8" BSP barbed hose-tail for £2-3 at you local hydraulics / hose supplier [or £5 on Ebay]. That way you can get any old transmission cooler and plumb it using any combination of hosing you can cobble-up. This gives you wider options
