Tim,
I would have a Volvo Certified technition service all of the coolers on the Engines. Coolers and heat exchangers are vital to the life of your engines. A failed cooler at high RPM can lead to near instant engine failure. At cruising speed, by the time the overheat alarm goes off, engine damange may have already been done. Much less expensive to maintain the coolers and heat exchangers than to replace an engine.
My suggestion is to service coolers and heat exchangers every 3-4 years (or 500 hours, whichever occurs first) in cooler water areas (Great Lakes) and every 2-3 years (250 hours) in warm water areas (Florida, Bahamas and Carribean).
I do not have an estimate, but I'm sure a call to your local Volvo dealer will produce a timely quote.
Sincerely,
