put in the higher temp unit. 92C. Engine is happier, heat flows better, and you'll be a little warmer in winter. You might also consider a cooling system flush and coolant replacement at the same time. Use coolant mix of 50-50 GREEN antifreeze and STEAM distilled water. More antifreeze doesn't enhance protection, less can impair the anti-corrosion effects.

Welcome to the BBRD. Have you got some books yet? Owner's manual (available from Volvo) and/or Haynes shop manual and - definitely - the Bentley Shop Manual. The latter two are usually available on eBay.

Veni Vidi Volvo

Good Luck,

Bob
