How do you replace a radiator on a95 Volvo 850 turbo?

Answer 1

not sure if its exactly the same on yours mine is a 1997 850 t5 but mine has to come out the bottom of the car start by removing the plastic cover underneath the front of the car and drain the radiator with the drain plug on the drivers side then you must remove the plastic shielding above the radiator to access all of the hoses and remove those the intake should just pop off with some minor tugging also disconnect hoses to the inter cooler because the radiator and inter cooler have to come out together now disconnect the wires plugged into the cooling fan the fan can come out the top of the car should be two bolts at the top and two screws also at the top note the routing of all wires you will need to remember the fan has two tabs that slide into slots at the bottom of the radiator so you should be able to pull it straight up after disconnecting everything once the fan is out get back under the car and there should be one bolt on each side of the radiator remove those and the radiator should come out with the inter cooler which are bolted together unbolt the two and the radiator is finally out reverse this operation to reinstall double check all hoses and wires and plugs before refilling with fluid and starting the car keep an eye on fluid level for next day or so
hope this helps
