Radiator replacement

Mar 08, 2006 3 Replies

Hallo, I have crashd my car and damage the cooler radiator. I have a radiator from volvo V70 2456ccm disel and my car is s60 2435ccm benzin. The radiator apears to be same. Can I use it as a replacement. Thank you.



I'd say it isn't. Diesels run at different temps than a gasoline engine.

I would think that they are not compatible as the diesel usually requires more coolant capacity than a petrol engined car.

All the best, Peter.

Sorry I cant see why a larger radiator would be an issue as the thermostat wont open till its warm enough anyway ?
