going to do a flush on my 01 V70 soon and I expect the green plastic clip that hold the tranny line in the radiator is going to be destroyed in the process as well as the o-rings. Are these dealer only items? It is a loooong drive to nearest dealer. Anyone had success finding at Napa, Autozone or ??
thanks!

The best non-dealer spot I have found for the clip and o-rings in a kit is iPD. eEuroparts has them separately as well but the o-rings might be hard to identify. Might want to phone that order in and talk with a specialist.

 

Most dealers will mail them. I've even had "not in stock" parts mailed at no charge. Or you can trust some pimply faced kid at Autozone to find the part in their computer (it may or may not be the right part, voice of experience) then hope it is not a one size-fits-alot part and that it is manufactured to top notch standards. If you reuse clips or use cheap one you run the risk of draining your fluid all over the freeway at 70 mph (voice of experience again).

Autozone (and their ilk) has been wrong more than right to me over the years. Great for wiper blade, oil, antifreeze, wax, Lexol, etc. Bad for brand specific parts.
