2012 Volvo vnl D13 - Radiator Leaking -

According to your VIN, what's the part number?

 

there is aftermarket options what volvo dealers are selling its all the same the connection for the transmission cooler changed and no one has parts in stock for the update but it is really not needed all i do is i remove it from the old radiator replace o rings and install on the new one i am installing, aftermarket for this i could get it here in chicago for about 560 usd.

 

and yes replace it definately not worth repairing at the cost they charge for repair, if i had to guess i would say it's leaking out of the top hose driver side right next to where the hose connection goes, D13 sickness as far as radiator goes, replaced hundreds of them.

 

Norther radiator part number 239047

 

Replace with OEM
(My preference)

 

Rocky Mountain Radiator in NC manufactures a replacement. I bought one direct for $480 or so and it's been great so far (15 months).

Volvo wanted to sell me the same one from RM for $800. Big mark up. Go direct to them.

PM if you have a question.

 

I went with aftermarket and it's been fine so far. Are you sure it's your radiator leaking? I thought I had a top seam leak recently but eventually I figured out it was two hairline cracks in the surge (overflow) tank. It was running down onto the radiator along the top rear seam.

Good luck!

 

Mine was leaking real bad. It was the plastic top part of the radiator. Sad really. Truck was only 3yrs old at the time.
