Radiator Hoses and Clamps

When you are doing any service to the cooling system, be sure to check the condition of the belts, hoses and clamps. Inspect a belt by turning it to see if it shows any signs of cracking or fraying where it rides in the pulley. The telltale squeal will let you know if it is not adjusted correctly. Hoses should be easy to compress with your hand but not too soft, as if the reinforcement inside has broken. A hose that has become rigid is just as bad as a soft one, as it can stress the neck of the radiator from engine movement.

(1) (L shaped) Some early 1800s with a large tank used an offset hose in the upper location which is no longer available.

(2) Must be shortened for use on intercooled models.

Years of normal operation will create conditions that can gradually reduce the cooling efficiency of a radiator. If you find that you need to replace the radiator, consider our all-metal three-row upgrade for increased cooling and serviceability, available for 240, 740 and 940 series. We now have factory replacement radiators for vintage models as well as the later model Volvos. One-year warranty.
