XC70 D5 2005 Lower radiator hose
Hi,
My XC70 D5 (2005 163hp) has been off the road for two weeks now whilst I try and source a replacement lower radiator hose which had developed a tiny split near the EGR cooler. It’s part number 8671573 and seems to be totally unobtainable in the UK! In the hope of getting a genuine Volvo part it has been ordered through a local main dealer but it seems that there is nothing in stock in mainland Europe or Sweden even. Is this a part that rarely fails on this model or is it a sign of obsolescence of the D5, Brexit, Covid19.... etc. etc.? I have been considering a ‘used’ one from a breakers but the hose is a big job to get at so didn’t want to have to do the job more than once. Missing being able to drive my XC... Bill

found one on ebay, about £55 inc postage ?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373433167...YAAOSwCxtfv79S bear in mind though the last time I got something in from poland it was followed by a seperate fedex bill for import costs, it was a mig welder about £500 and the bill was about £120 |

yeah well that is always the question to be fair, it SAYS it is, but there's not 100% guarantee... in my experience so far, any time I've ordered a 'genuine' part it has arrived in a genuine looking blue Volvo box. could just be luck for me I suppose
then again it is only a bit of tubing, how far wrong can you really go.. as long as it's the right size and shape, and it doesnt leak? if it was a mechanical or electrical part i'd be more concerned just out of curiosity how much did the stealership charge for it. sometimes these bits actually arent that expensive from them anyway Last edited by stuart bowes; Jun 23rd, 2021 at 11:45. |

Don't be fooled by claims. Hoses, belts and weatherstrips can be horridly cheap. Uro comes to mind.
As Clan said, Volvo hoses are unbelievably long lived. The lower hose, at least in the petrol engines, is quite long and uniquely shaped. I'd hold out no hope of finding any similar, "modifiable" hose. I'd go with the 10 day wait your dealer quoted. |

Looking at listings for hoses for various models shows that the OE hoses (or at least one source) are made in Poland so might strike lucky especially as the one I’ve paid-for carries the correct part number. Thank you for all the replies. Bill
