The SFVO-003 is a premium aftermarket engine radiator, purpose-engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the first-generation Volvo S80 produced between 1999 and 2004. It is designed specifically for models fitted with naturally aspirated 2.8L or 2.9L inline-six (L6) gasoline engines paired with automatic transmission (A/T), meeting the exact cooling and fitment requirements of this premium executive sedan.

Core Product Identification & Compatibility

This radiator is cataloged under the manufacturer model number SFVO-003, and carries standardized cross-reference numbers to simplify part matching across global automotive aftermarket supply chains:

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) matching part number: 8602753, which is fully compatible with the factory original part specification
Interchange reference for Nissens, a world-leading manufacturer of automotive cooling components: 65552A

Detailed Technical Specifications

All dimension and connection parameters are calibrated to match the original vehicle’s engine bay layout, enabling drop-in replacement with no modifications required during installation:

Coolant Port Specifications

The radiator features two differently sized inlet and outlet ports for coolant circulation: the inlet port has an outer diameter of 38mm, while the outlet port measures 37mm. This dimensioned layout matches the original vehicle’s coolant pipework exactly, ensuring a leak-free seal and proper flow rate. The distance between the two mounting points on the side tank is 330mm, which aligns perfectly with the original mounting bracket positions on the S80 chassis.

Header Tank Dimensions

The radiator’s end header tanks measure 443mm × 55.5mm, which fits precisely into the original radiator mounting cavity of the target Volvo S80, with no misalignment issues during installation.

Heat Exchange Core Dimensions

The functional heat dissipation core of the radiator measures 620mm × 418mm × 26mm. This compact, optimized core dimension delivers an ideal balance of heat exchange capacity and packaging efficiency for the S80′s engine bay, designed to accommodate the heat output of the 2.8L and 2.9L inline-six engines.

Performance Characteristics & Application Advantages

As a cooling component engineered for premium passenger vehicles, the SFVO-003 radiator delivers consistent and reliable thermal management for daily driving. The 26mm thick core provides sufficient heat exchange capacity to maintain a stable engine operating temperature, even during highway cruising, urban stop-and-go traffic, or warm ambient temperature conditions. This prevents engine overheating, preserves power output from the naturally aspirated inline-six engine, and extends the service life of critical engine components.

Built to meet or exceed OEM quality standards, this radiator features precise alignment of all mounting points and fluid connections, eliminating the need for custom alterations to pipework or brackets during replacement. For repair technicians and vehicle owners, this reduces installation time and labor costs, getting the vehicle back on the road quickly.

 

This radiator is an ideal replacement option for routine maintenance, aging component replacement, or collision repair for 1999-2004 Volvo S80 2.8/2.9 A/T models. It delivers original-equivalent fit and performance at a more accessible price point compared to genuine factory replacement parts, making it a cost-effective, reliable choice for keeping this classic executive sedan operating at peak performance.
