Severe Coolant System Issues '99 S80 2.9L Non-Turbo
Hello again,
The last time I was on here I had throttle issues, those have recently been resolved, however a new problem has popped up. When I purchased the car, in 2008, I only had to put coolant in it maybe one a year if that, and now I have almost gone through an entire bottle of antifreeze in about 2 weeks. I know I have a severe leak coming from the coolant tank, however I am not sure what all I should replace and what to do with the coolant that is in my tank and hoses.
There are two hoses that are coming off the coolant tank, one I know is the Expansion Tank Drain Hose, the other one goes into the fire wall. What is this hose and should I replace that one as well?
Also, where should I get these parts and would you recommend an aftermarket tank or a Volvo tank. There is about a $25 difference. I am thinking getting the Volvo tank.
If it would be easier below are some photos that I took of the area.
This is where the two hoses connect to the coolant tank.
This is a picture of the hose that goes into the firewall.
