    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.

    same part #??

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

  3. 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.

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