1992 940 (a/c) heat exchanger
Hi all,
I've just had the unenviable task of removing a blown heater core (yes it's exactly as fun as it sounds) and I'm now staring at this: https://ibb.co/fFmxzqY https://ibb.co/6YdSB5h https://ibb.co/54zs0yz Which doesn't look to match what I thought would be the original part (no. 1021541 on skandix) Any thoughts?

https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...right/1021541/ Just to add insult to injury, it's a Saab part too! No parts shown for Volvo with that number on Skandix.

Spoiler alert! I have no idea where that number came from, must have copy pasted from the wrong site! This is the one I meant: https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...ating/1021451/ Best part of £300 with postage too... Last edited by Steve740; Jun 4th, 2021 at 21:57. |

I'm hoping for something a little less spendy than the skandix part, maybe along the lines of: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372971907255 |

After a long drive (mostly stuck in traffic jam on a hot day) I noticed the coolant level was low, carpets soaked, and this was after a recent flush. I've had a similar problem before in another 940 and ended up just bypassing it, but my better half insisted that I would need heat come winter...
I did suspect a valve blockage (will be replacing that too for peace of mind) but not in any doubt this heater's shagged as it's where all the liquid's come from, and it doesn't hold any pressure. |

If after repairing it, you find it gives little or no output, swap the hoses on the stubs (you can do this in the engine bay) as often if the hoses are the wrong way round it creates an airlock in the matrix. Swapping them allows full flow again with the suction side (leading back to the pump) being on the lower end so isn't trying to pull against a head of gravity.
