As your Volvo approaches the upper eschilon in milage, fan clutch failures become more common. If you don't hear the high flow whoosh of the fan clutch engaging occasionally and are experiencing cooling problems, especially at low speeds, you should have the fan clutch checked.
*Some 1976-1979 models were equipped with a one piece clutch/fan unit, which is no longer available. These are easily identified by the aluminum fan blades. To upgrade to the newer version you'll need to order both parts and also get a set of 6mm studs and lock nuts for mounting the clutch to the water pump.

Aftermarket parts are a reasonably priced and good alternative to OE products. We often supply aftermarket products in place of OE parts that are no longer available as well.
Some items will be better than stock or considered an upgrade from the OE design in the aftermarket brand.
Other items will work as a less expensive alternative to stock.
We will not sell a product that we do not believe in, so rest assured you are fine with the aftermarket brand in most applications!
