VALEO is the OEM.

Re Nissens, no experience on my Volvo yet, but I installed a Nissens radiator in my 1998 BMW 528i 10 years ago, so far so good 10 years later in my BMW.

- Yes, change the clamps and also the hoses.
- If turbo models, look into turbo coolant hoses!
- Check the reservoir and cap too. They tend to go bad at 120K or so.
- Thermostat and ECT to be checked while in there.
