2002 Volvo S40 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 160hp 1.9L I4 5-speed automatic FWD

117000 mi

US $225		 Upon visual inspection, noticed that coolant colored leak line from top radiator hose that has molded small hose connection for overflow (special hose from Gates or Volvo). Replaced hose, hose clamps and coolant. Also checked plastic overflow container for leaks, cracks and brittle fitting tubes but was ok (known weakness at over 100k miles and can cause overheat, blown head gasket). Checked condition of lower radiator hose and radiator cap and both were fine.
