How to replace or install the radiator and intercooler on Volvo 850, S70, V70, V70XC - REMIX

Radiator replacement: 2 to 4 hours. ($130 / $520 / $900)
Replaced the radiator on a Volvo S70 turbo. It will be the same for the early 850 and V70 turbo cars from 1994 through 1998. This car was missing the air guide under it, so if you have that or a splash pan, it will need to be removed. Very little difference with other white block Volvo cars.

Many Thanks. Ex-Radiator man here, (1987-ish). I told a young friend that I'd be glad to help swap out her radiator... popped the hood, and said... OK this is not going to be the quick 2027 R&R of days old. Thanks for the guide on what does and doesn't have to move to get this one out!

Thank you so much Robert. I love my 98 Volvo s70 more than any other car I've ever owned. Your videos have helped me repair almost every problem I've ever had. You're one of the most helpful Volvo dudes on the Internet. God bless and thank you again.

8/10/2022 This EXACT same failure happened on my 98' V70 after drive through a not visible at 3 a.m. 12" deep pot hole on my street. 3 attempts with a longer metal sleeve, J.B. Weld 1st for metal , then for plastic, no success. Inexcusable irresponsible design flaw. Volvo should have been refused entry into the states on that alone. My 71' Oldsmobile has never suffered any failure due to short cuts to maximize profit at consumer expense. Insult to injury, i was to cheap to buy a replacement radiator when Robert was fixing other minor issues. Thankful Robert posts videos for thick skull bailing wire mechanics.

I'm doing this job now, and I had trouble with the fan shroud assembly. In my case, things were very tight and I couldn't remove it with with the fan attached. It became a lot easier when I removed the fan from the shroud, there are four screws, two at the top and two at the bottom, the bottom ones you only need to loosen and the fan slides off of them, then you can rest the fan against the engine and this makes it easy to slip the shroud out and then the fan follows easily. Less yanking and less danger of damaging all those brittle components. Just in case anyone else has trouble getting the shroud out.

You are a God amongst men. My V70 started acting up and cracked the radiator just yesterday, but I can allways count on you when looking for help.

I have a 2001 v70 xc, I need to replace the radiator. Do I need to take the AC radiator off or evac the AC system in the process? Also how long should this take?

[@Sac_slappper_4rce]

Had troubles figuring out those clamps. Thanks for saving the day once again!!👍

[@brycecole1567]

If I'm replacing a turbo and need to clean out trapped oil? Is there a way to do it without taking the intercooler out?

[@GAMECITYLEGEND]

You make quality videos with no bullshit and pure info. It's fanfuckintastic. Thanks for taking the time to put these together, it's a lifesaver for me.

[@slingerland63]

You are Great. Very thorough . Any car would be lucky to have you work on it!

Robert,

[@hankfleming8809]

Thank you for making and posting this video. I have done a few radiators in the past, I have done motor rebuilds and swaps but not on this era Volvo. I also had never seen a car with the cooler lines like this. I had no clue how the clamps worked and the guys at the parts place were stumped as well. After watching this video I have no worries about tackling this project tomorrow and getting my sleeper wagon on the road again.

Hey Robert! Thank you so much for this video. Had to install the oil retainer clips post operation at the mechanics, was worried about losing much fluid as I'm living in an apartment. Thank you so much!

[@johnfreeman8422]

Great job Robert. Pure gold for those of us not accustomed to Volvos ..... thank you

[@waypro4286]

Robert, all your videos are very helpful. Great job! Thank you

[@clockworkbike]

Thanks Robert. A great video. Clearly NOT a 15 minute job!

[@nanotek23]
