| the upper radiator-hose connection snapped-off, hose intact, and the
connection appears to be plastic. on a volvo? does a radiator have
replaceable parts or do you have to replace the whole thing in this
situation? it appears that both sides of the radiator have plastic
components top to bottom. thanks any info. art, '97 960 wagon

This happened on my 91 740 wagon. It needed a new radiator (this occured in
2000). The new radiator had a metal insert inside the plastic effectively
beefing it up. I was very much surprised at the all-plastic construction
but I believe the reinforcement takes care of the problem.

No, don't even try. Replace the awful plastic tank radiator with a new
aftermarket metal tank rad, that's something that should NEVER have been
made of plastic, they *always* fail catastrophically and dump all the
coolant almost instantly, makes me wonder how many engines have been ruined
by that. >> Stay informed about: broken radiator-hose connection fixable? |

Is that online? The Nissens 3 row radiators for 200 and 700 series are
around $200, I'm not sure if the one for a 960 is different. >> Stay informed about: broken radiator-hose connection fixable? |

as a followup, the otherwise excellent radiator was -- and is --
unfixable and had to be replaced. total cost $320 including labor. i
hope the guy who made v.p. for suggesting plastic radiator components
gags on his foie gras. art

Uh, yes. Also be on the lookout for plastic heater and bypass hose
connectors which can after several years just break into two pieces at
the most inopportune time. Usually on a sunday when the parts
department is closed. >> Stay informed about: broken radiator-hose connection fixable? |
