This radiator is only 265 and is a very good one.

Also, if you have your mechanic install it, you will get a lifetime warranty on it.

Is it cracked at the upper radiator hose fitting? Mine is with 133k miles on it. It leaks out only when sitting overnight. I have a new radiator waiting ($170 - I have a connection with a local parts warehouse) and plan on putting it in this weekend, just contemplating replacing the heater core o-rings at the same time...

evan023, as far as I know there is no such thing as an AWD s70. To find out, though, look underneath the back of the car and see if you have a rear differential, if you do then you do indeed have an AWD s70.

They made an AWD S70 in the model year '99...maybe '00 too. A neighbor had one.

Just be sure to get the right radiator. Some have oil coolers and transmission fluid coolers and others don't, even though they may have them listed as being for the same cars. Make sure you know what you need.

Yeah that radiator I got has the wrong fittings for my oil and transmission cooler lines. My car and original radiator has the clip-on style and the replacement radiator has the screw-on style. Will not work. Need to find another radiator. Things to keep in mind whilst shopping around.

Make sure you get a Nissen if you don't get factory. Then you are sure it will fit.
