    Should I replace the Valeo radiator?

    Just spent 108 quids to carry out a glycol test, just to ensure that my E500 does not have that awful issue. The test came back ok, no issue. But a preventative action is to replace it, not sure if it is worth it though. I was quoted about 1000 to replace the radiator, a bit pricey I think...
