Major problems - Help! V70-XC70 1998

Gretchen,

Your gonna be tired of reading stuff from me before this is through...

I pulled up VADIS to get a picture of what you were looking at:

#10 is the expansion tank (where you put coolant)
#13 is the lower radiator hose
#6 is the radiator
#6a are the bushings on/in the radiator (basically fill the void where the transmission cooler lines would go if you had an automatic transmission)

I think that #17 is actually the hose that they are saying caused the dilemma. Another interesting note...when a cooling system is pressurized by...oh, let's say, perhaps...an irregularity in where the head meets the block, the first areas adversely affected by the compression leaking into the cooling system are the radiator, the coolant reservoir, and the hoses that attach to the coolant reservoir. This is exactly what was affected on your car. Truly, it's beginning to look more and more like your car needed a motor the first time around, and the dealership didn't catch it.

Chris
