240 heater core

VolvoHordz

Anyone happen to have a new heater core for a 240 kicking around that they no longer need? I don't want to bother with used.

Otherwise, suggestions of where best to buy? I assume LHD and RHD is the same?

Haven't got one, but L and R are the same, just put on in my GT

I haven't got one either, but when I had the one in my 74 pressure tested at the radiator place for a week about 5 years ago, there was no issues. They were blown away that the thing was over 40 years old.

AFAIK, LHD and RHD are the same. It's the same heater core from 1974 140/164 through to 1993 240.

I usually get my 940 cores from these folks, even been to the factory when I was in the UK.

FWIW Four Seasons brand available from RockAuto for $153AUD including FedEx (I just looked at 1988 model 240)...assuming they're all the same.

Same part for 1976 and 1990.

I got nervous about quality and couldn't find many reviews so ordered a genuine Volvo one from VolvoPartsWebStore.com. They were randomly the 'cheapest' ($416 posted ..) for genuine, though 4-6 weeks to order in then however long to get to Australia.

Hopefully it won't be in a "Four Seasons" box inside a Volvo box when it arrives! ;)

I'm surprised most of the Rockauto ones are copper even the cheaper one although it's not for A/C cars.

Whats different between them?

GCP usually ships pretty quickly, expect about a week to 10 days before arrival.
