Many thanks, but it is for the 06 XC70 that is my son's, and not the S60 I worked on on the weekend. But they should be the same. I am in a monitoring mode on this just now. Not sure if or what is leaking if anything. I had been planning a coolant flush in the fall here, so to swap it out, this would be the time if there is an issue.

Appreciate the link!!

Pinch the hoses from engine compartment, twist and pull to remove. They will be seized most likely, so it helps to wiggle/rotate them a few times beforehand. Place a quart container under one of the metal pipes going through firewall and blow compressed air in another: you'll get your old core and piping free of coolant almost entirely. Air compressor or shop vac in reverse both work equally well.

Behr has been bought out by Mahle.

I found this Behr at Advanced Auto parts. Not cheap!
