Default 2002 NA radiator question

Do I have some freak of a car? I can't seem to find a radiator for it. I ordered one that had a wide application and it was no where near what I needed. It was narrower overall (tank to tank) and the mounts were way narrower.

Is it possible that my car has a radiator support and radiator from a turbo, perhaps???

Oh yeah, I've been a member for a while, but for some reason, I could not log in. So, post #1 for me, again.

I'll try to get some pics of my car up soon. It's black/graphite with graphite 18" 5 spokes and spt's.

Been out of the loop, still need a radiator. Anyone? I understand there are approx 6 radiators for my year/model (counting turbos). I'll post a pic soon, I promise...

Hmm. Well, I ordered one that was no where near close. That company (nameless to protect the innocent people at Radiator Classic) was pretty pricky about it being the right one. It wasn't.

Started to order one from another site and the "statement" about the car was something like "..this model can be tricky..".

What does Premair entail? I'm pretty sure my car has it and I have seen where it can affect the cooling (NOT hvac but engine).

I just need to figure it out. Shouldn't there be a part number on the radiator itself? Location?

Not always a part number there.
8603840 is the Volvo part number that should fit your car. I just looked it up on Vadis and there is 3 different ones. Only 1 for N/A and 2 for turbo cars.

Thanks. I'll post when I get a correct fitment.

Is it possible I have a turbo radiator/radiator support? Are they different (the support).

I do not think it is any different on the core supports.
