Volvo 940/960 » Radiator Hoses & Clamps

When you examine your cooling system, be sure to check your hoses for cracking or other damage. Look and feel for unusual bulges or swelling. Hoses should be soft and pliable to avoid placing stress on your radiator, which can lead to expensive repairs. Due to the high heat they're exposed to, many manufacturers suggest replacement every five years or 60,000 miles.
