A while back, before I bought my green 854, I looked at a maroon turbo wagon that the kid had said the heater core blew up on him.
We bypassed it and the car started fine, but coolant would shoot 2' out of the reservoir when you revved the motor. (Ran "fine" otherwise).
Pretty extreme cooling system pressurization from a bad HG (and most likely now a cracked block).

Needless to say we didn't buy that car...

Your car was over-heated before you bought it. If the fan wasn't working, at all, then it had been overheated. Most likely more than once.

From what I have read over the years, Beck Arnley basically buys whatever they can lay their hands on and puts it in a Beck Arnley box. The actual part could be from anywhere and made by anyone. Might be great. Might be bad.
1998 V70 Non-Turbo/Auto The Perfect Driving Appliance
1993 945 Turbo/Auto Pickemup Truck that Will Not Die. New 960 seats!
1999 S70 T5 Turbo/Auto which is better than Abscate's T5
All U.S. market models.
All running and on the road.
PM me if you are in Ohio. I'm in Lorain.
