I just replaced all the coolant hoses and completely agree with erickv11. That lower turbo hose can be a bear to remove and since you pretty much have to strip the left side of the engine to get access, if it's in the budget I'd replace the heater hoses also. Classic case of WIIT. WHile I'm in there!

I posted the PNs for the Turbo coolant hoses and the tips/tricks in the thread below.
Do NOT buy URO or aftermarket hoses!!!
Stick to Volvo OEM hoses, which are not expensive at all.

Heater hoses I would inspect and probably only replace if they seem to be aging poorly. Those factory hoses are superbly well made, they fail rarely so if they look good they probably still are. I'm not sure the newer heater hoses from Volvo are the same high quality (abscate may have some comments about that point).
But whatever you do, do not buy aftermarket heater hoses, unless you decide to do one of the ghetto swap methods (uses regular heater hose, not the pre-formed ones with the metal nipples).
