In case you are buying or just bought a blue box Volvo lower/outlet heater hose for any 94-97 850 turbo, S/V/C 70 turbo 98-99. (p/n 9186847), you might want check to make sure the hose is not over crimped.

The top hose is the over crimped one and will fail in a month or two, I had three failed hoses in 5 months, all leaking due to the manufacture's over crimping!
The bottom one is the corrected version according to my parts guy.
