1999 C70 1999 C70 different radiator trans line receptacle

Post by **Kazthebassman** » 07 May 2015, 16:08

My 1999 C70 has the trans lines, with the plastic green clip. There is a cylindrical receptacle on the radiator. I am replacing the radiator.
My new radiator has receptacles for the trans lines, that look quite different. They appear to have the same inlet size, yet have a taper inside at the bottom. They also have a big hex cast on the receptacle. That hex faces the vehicle.
My question is will my existing trans lines work properly with this receptacle that is on my new radiator ? Thanks for any input.

This is the type of trans line connection, that I have, on my hoses.

Lube the o rings and slide the trans cooler line in. It will click when seated with some force.

I have not mounted the new radiator yet. I was hoping to get some confirmation that the trans line receptacle on the new radiator,(2nd picture) will work with my line conection (3rd picture). Thanks

The fittimgs are correct in your photo and typical of aftermarket radiators such as Hella-Behr, Nissens etc.

I have a XC 2001 with the same fittings. Also I just fitted the same type of radiator to a 1999 V70. Internally the diameter is correct for the trans line fittings.

Just be sure to lube the o rings so they don't get torn up.

Thanks. I was hoping that may be the case. I'll be putting it in tomorrow. Thanks for the advise on lubing the o-rings. I have some o-ring lube. This car sure keeps me busy.
