Volvo Repair: radiator replacement 2000 c70, radiator replacement, nissens


Question
what is involved in replacing the radiator and how much should i expect to pay in labor. I have found the part available between 200 and 300 online. I have looked extensivly at the car and it looks as if you almost have to remove everything forward of the radiator. And then seperate all of the cooling elements. Also is the transmission cooler in the same element as the cooling radiator.........

Answer
Jeff, basically they suck.  Figure about 400 hundred for the rad and about 150 for labor. There is a trick to them but I cant really get into that.  Its worth pay the labor.  If you are going to get one online make sure its a OE volvo, nissens, etc.  Roger
