radiator

Having trawled through all the old posts on this and various other MB sites, I have learnt a fair bit about the problems with the Valeo manufactured radiator in various cars from about 2001-03? I am in the market for a CLK and my price range puts cars in my budget about this sort of age. One...

Morning all, I'm reluctant to start another Valeo thread, but as Mrs E's C270 (2002/52) has a 612962 engine I'm pretty sure that it is unaffected (after cross checking against the TSB). Please feel free to advise otherwise. One question though, what is item 22 in...

Anyone know were I'll get an electric fan relay for a Diavia Aircon system, I assume it must be faulty as I've traced the wiring all round the car and can only find one fuse, next to the relay on the N/S inner wing, which is fine:confused: Phil

Hi, I've just acquired a '91 200TE Auto Estate. As I paid little for it, I am happy to spend a bit on it to tidy it up a bit. The bodywork is good for its age (a bit of normal wheelarch stuff) and at 170k I hope it's got a bit of life left. I would like some advice from members regarding a...

Hi all.I'm looking for help with a radiator problem on a E320. I want to add rad seal but don't know where it should go.Should I just add it to the coolant? Ok.Forget this request.I think I have this shuddering problem that I am reading about in other threads.. I've been told it's not too bad at...

on my e300 diesel 1996 210 there is a small diameter pipe that goes from the top of the reservoir to the top of the radiator the little pipe on the radiator has snapped off if i were to block this hole up in the radiator and blank the pipe off that comes from the reservoir what effect would this...

I have managed to clock up the best part of 500miles today with a trip Up't north to sell off my brothers Ex MOD LandRover Carawagon. When I returned tonight to top up the oil, I noticed that around the Water/Radiator cap white stains have appeared? The average outside temp was around 31...

One of my radiator fans on my facelift w202 C240 has started making a racket. Looking at the car from the front it is the right hand one. When you spin it by hand theres a small clunk from inside as it rotates, sounds like a bearing to me. Fan still works ok just really noisy. Is the...

I thought all if not most 2003 W211's came with the Valeo Rad? Once i have picked up the car from the dealer after paying in full, i'll take a look to make sure. Assyst did a quick VIN check on my new (used) car, and the tech guy told me no.

hey everyone, just wondering..... we recently moved from an 88 200t to a 92 230te and the new car has a thin fan on the front of the radiator that the old car doesnt have.... i noticed on my friends 320e coupe that he has two of these fans on the front of the radiator, i was just wondering what...

Hi A work colleague of mine has the chance of a 1 owner Aug 03 E320cdi Saloon 63K miles A/Guarde. He knows the guy selling and he is looking £12500. He has asked me for advice and i am giving it the once over on the ramp on Sunday but just dont know what to advise him regarding the Valeo rad...

My indy can't source a matching new radiator for the CE, the one he has had delivered has the Auto box supply and return tails in a different place which he reckons won't work with the pipes. He's recommended a re-core for the existing radiator for about the same money... (not OE) which I've...

OE or Pattern? MB want nearly £400 inc. VAT for new rad :eek: Eurocarparts have a Nissens one for £146 (+VAT?) The car has aftermarket AC Any thoughts? Ade

Folks, Spotted this radiator on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190216181212&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=009 Its brand new and the buy it now is £65 and believe me this is VERY cheap. I just replaced mine which was exactly the same unit for £177 + vat so I'm...

Hi... The AT box cooling is via radiator of the engine through some pipes passing in. So ; - Does the AT box has a thermostat to give the fluid way to radiator when hot? -Does the radiator only cools the AT fluid down, or the other way (in cold weather) it may warm the fluid up ...

1 Open bonnet to the vertical position 2 Remove top engine cover (clips) 3 Remove engine undertray (4 screws, 8mm socket, 2 clips) (from underneath) 4 Drain coolant (remove header tank cap), coolant drain point under LH side, use wide screwdriver and have something to...

Changed my radiator today. Fairly straightforward for the DIY mechanic, although time consuming. This is based upon my 1999 C43 AMG, but I guess much will be relevant to other W202's. I have some pictures which I'll be adding in due course. Some of this will require access from underneath. If...

I fitted a new radiator to my E300 TD but now when i filled it up with water and try and let the air out of the system it blows the water all over the place out of the filler bottle like a fountain. The heaters in the car wont go warm and if i put cap on the pipes swell right up!! Any ideas...

I've concluded my radiator needs replaced, been quoted £280 ex VAT and labour for a new one from Merparts Port Glasgow (this is for a Mercedes one which is all they'll fit -seemed strange for an independent to only fit Merc parts). Anyway, rather than spend that much on a replacement I thought...
