Greetings,

I can't find a parts diagram that lists the part I am looking for, so I thought I'd ask a simple question: Besides the radiator, what is the part that the lower radiator hose connects to on my 2007 XC90 with the 3.2 L six? I ordered both upper and lower radiator hoses and have noticed that this part may actually be the source of the leak I was trying to fix. It appears to be a plastic "T" that is connected to a metal pipe. The Clip-on lower radiator hose is really fighting me and I fear I am going to break this "t" if I keep yanking on it. IN the attached photo my middle finger is pointing at it. I'd sure appreciate any info you may have as well as tips on how to remove a clip-on radiator how that is stuck. Oh, and if this part breaks, how to replace that too.

Thanks,

J

 

try using a dealer web store which has a parts diagram.

Thanks, I think I have found the parts I need. I ended up also needing to replace the oil cooler hose. Thanks for the suggestion.
