Shipping back to FCP isn't free.

Volvo on all plastic and rubber parts, or the OEM.


Bought a URO, lasted a few months before it turned cloudy.

Cooling system is a mother of all systems. Always go with Volvo parts and fluid to minimize.

I tried a Behr-Hella from FCP for my 2001 T5 and it lasted around 30,000kms or 2 years. It went dark yellow before cracking at the seam.

I left a bad review for the item on FCP's site today and it looks like I single-handedly locked up their review ratings......I can't see any reviews for any item from any of my devices....looks like I struck again :oops:
