i had an accident in which my front end on my 01 s80 t-6was replaced. the backyard hobos put the wrong coolant into my system which in turn destroyed my rad core. now my heater core is leaking and the insurrance company says its not related. any help or tech knowledge about the corsivness of ethyel glycol coolant on the volvo cooling system will help. help point me in the right direction so i can fight this bull****

 

Which coolant did they put in?
Any decent Green coolant works fine in these cars.

The GM coolant I would not use in these cars.(Sorry forget what they call it off hand)EDIT dexcool

 

backyard hobos? if thats what they are, why in the world did you trust them to repair your volvo? also, you say the "front end was replaced" just how much of the car was infact replaced, the reason I state this is in the event of a hard impact, indirect damage can rear its ugly head a few days or even weeks after the car is "fixed", hard front hits can and do cause damage back to the firewall area , and lots of plastic parts in these areas can and will crack or brake, having said this, , I am master certified in mercedes benz collision, and I also see situations like yours happen all the time, rarelythe file is fully closed on a hard hit car, hope this helps, best regards, rotgut.
