Two years ago, I replaced my 1993 volvo v90 radiator with a new volvo radiator. It started leaking at the seam a month ago. The radiator is out of warranty since it is over 12 months. I went to the dealer to complain. They said that they see this particular problem with many volvos. I will eventually have to replace the radiator. For now it leaks only a little bit of water but eventually it could have a larger leak and thus overheat and destroy my car's engine.
