Volvo P1800 » Radiator
 ipd is now proud to offer new, factory style radiators for the 122 models. Manufactured to OE specifications in Germany, this radiator will install easily and add a fresh look to your engine bay. When changing your radiator, ipd recommends replacing the associated hoses, clamps and thermostat and performing a cooling system flush to ensure reliable cooling system performance, and prevent any chance of transferring sediment to your new radiator. Please check fitment listed below to ensure products will fit your specific vehicle.

Do NOT be tempted to drill the holes into the frame to attach the plastic cowling (as the instructions suggest). The core is so close to the frame and so thin that you are certain to put holes into your new radiator core. Take it to a radiator shop and pay him to do it so he can repair it at his expense.
The radiator itself is good (but not equal to the original Volvo radiator). Mine came with a pinhole leak at the solder joint under the upper hose bib which had to be fixed at the radiator shop. Since I already had to have the core fixed after drilling into it, this was a minor incomvenience, but if I hadn't drilled into the core and then discovered the pin hole leak after installation, it would have been a major headache. The radiator shop said he could have recored and repaired my original Volvo radiator for about the same price as the replacement. Worth considering.
