Default 91 740 wagon

Where can I get a used radiator or can a leak in a plastic radiator be repaired? In Racine County, Wisconsin. Thank you in advance for your help?

Do not try used radiators. If you can't afford to get a new one, park it until you can or ask someone to help you.

You can get a good used radiator from a wrecking yard. Should cost less than half of new. Perfectly fine solution if you don't have the $, and are willing to use some elbow grease and common sense. Your car's radiator interchanges with many other Volvos so it should be quite easy to find used.

Are you talking about the metal radiator on the front of the car, or the plastic reservoir/overflow tank where you fill the coolant system? I would not reuse or fix either, as the system is under pressure.
