Volvo 960 owners have reported 1 problem related to radiator (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
At 110k I noticed coolant level dropping faster than usual, and coolant on garage floor. Dealer removed side engine cover and showed me a line of pinhole leaks in the aluminum block. Technician said this was a manufacturing defect he had seen before, and that the engine would have to be replaced. Volvo offered no help, "out of warranty. " I purchased a used 1998 960 engine for $1900 and dealer installed for $1800, including incidental parts. Soon thereafter, radiator blew and ruined cylinder head. The 1 year used engine warranty covered cylinder head and I paid about $800 for new radiator. Total outlay $4500! I folded my cards and got $3500 for Volvo toward a new Toyota corolla. No more Volvos for me!.
