Is there a way a new (and smaller) radiator can be installed in front of, and without removing, the original Volvo radiator to lessen labor costs? I had mine replaced a few years ago for a good price--perhaps too good to be true--and now, I see the old radiator still in there, with the newer, smaller one in front of it. Is this possible?

Thanks

 

That's the oil cooler. So, if your old rad is leaking, it needs to be replaced.

 

I would doubt you'd have the room to do it even if you paid extra and begged. You'd still have to figure out a way to mount both the new radiator and old fan shroud on where there wouldn't be anything to mount them to

How about a picture?

If you have a turbo you have a radiator, condenser and intercooler up there and they are all on top of each other. They all look like "radiators" as they function the same. Any chance you just confused one for another when you were looking for the leak?

 

Thanks all. Yes, I probably mixed up something that looks just like a radiator with some thing else that looks like it. It sits like a radiator right after the fan and its shroud.
