I'm in the middle of changing out the PCV system on my (`98 V70xc AMT), and will replace the Oil Cooling lines, Radiator Hoses, seals on the Trans lines, etc.... I got the O'rings and hardware for all the lines to the radiator, but when I removed the lower Trans Oil return hose from the Radiator, the metal elbow that goes into the crimp fitting on the hose appears to rotate in the crimp fitting, quite easily. I do not see any major leaks around this area - so I was wondering if this was normal?

If not normal, is there a good place to get a replacement? (FCP and IPD did not seem to list the Trans Cooler lines for ordering.....Drivewire, Partsgeek - show them available - or dealership?)
Thanks

I just removed mine over the weekend, and don't remember it doing that.

I'm pretty sure FCP and Eeuroparts sells those lines, but they are about $100 each!

I would put it all back and if it's not leaking, don't worry. Keep an eye on it, and if you see a leak, then you'll have to order the part. Not too hard to get under there again.

I recommend doing a volvospeed search-- you'll find a better option than ordering a new part.

I replaced that in my GLT using refurbed lines with correct 3/8" US-Made ATF hose with no issue.
I can use your old cooler lines for cores as I refurb them.
Let me know if I can interest you with a swap - your old (engine) cooler lines for a refurb lower AT cooler lines.

Thanks to all... I will put it back together - if it leaks, I can replace - if it doesn't, good to go....

Do NOT forget that:
- the clamp fits only one way (it has thick and thin ends).
- wrap a screw-type clamp around the factory clamp. This is a MUST!

@jdlc.........will let you know how it goes on the hose. If the Trans ones leak, we can talk/swap.
Thanks
