Have 1995 960 wagon. Having a over temp issue. Replaced my radiator which had cracks at the top snout. I bought a "summitt" on-line, re-used volvo thermostat temporarily until I could buy new. Now it will operate in temp zone center while in driveway and have been careful to "burb" system as soon as I get out on the road it goes to orange on temp gauge. re-did process again and same thing. Could be a bad or inadequate radiator? Summitt said "this fits your vehicle" on-line. I have removed the radiator on this car several times and have never experienced this problem, I think I know what I am doing here. I am stumped tho. I am going to put the cracked snout one back in tonight and try and take the new radiator element out. Any other suggesstions?
Also, just in the last couple of days there is a type of whinning/grinding noise coming from the area where the oil filter screws on and two coolant lines come too. What is this area called? Could this be connected to my overheat. Is this a type of oil cooler area? Is the oil pump near here?
Thanks a bunch.
