In particular, check the large bottom coolant hose as that one can deteriorate from oil, coolant etc. leaking on it. Following Klaus' logic, when my 95 855 needed a radiator I replaced the bottom hose at that time.

More recently, I replaced the larger of the two coolant tank hoses as it was beginning to look a little "shaky". On an 850 it is easy to keep an eye on the top coolant hose and heater hoses so I monitor them closely knowing that I will need to replace them eventually.

Volvo hoses seem to be extremely long lasting compared to other cars so I wouldn't consider using anything else...
