valeo

My CLK W209 is a 2003 How can I check if my Vin is affected by the Valeo issue as I'd rather be same than sorry. I believe it's £300 for a new Behr radiator but how do I know peevish owners haven't changed it before? Any easy way to check? Come to think of it though even if it has the Valeo...

Where should I look to check if I have Valeo radiator ?

Hello. Just bought my W203 C320 Coupe facelift and upon carrying a vin decoding I found out that it has been delivered 08/2004. I am aware that these cars suffer from glycol leaking into transmission if they are fitted with VALEO radiator up to production date 09/2003. My car falls...

Hi guys, I have read somewhere that certain models of the ML270 were fitted with valeo radiators to cool the gearboxes? Heard horror stories that they can leak resulting in damage to the box. Which years were built with these or was it just pre-facelift that had them?

Is there a mod anybodys done to remove the heat exchanger gearbox cooler for a radiator type? Im having trouble finding out. Will a decent transmision cooler bolted to the fron of the radiator be ok? Cheers again.

My 04 E500 estate has gone in for a service, and has revealed a nasty surprises. One is that the radiator is about to go and MB are out of stock in Germany. I have ordered one from ECP which will arrive in the morning, but it's a Valeo, which was notorious in the day. Should I be concerned about...

Hi All, I'm thinking of upgrading to an '02 or '03 CLK, and have seen one I'm possibly interested in bidding on, online. It's an '02 CLK 500, with just over 100k on the clock, and allegedly FSH. The current owner doesn't know of any radiator replacement in the past, and is unaware of the...

Just taken a look at the '03 E55 (135K miles) ; I'd forgotten the Valeo radiator issue when I bought it. The radiator on it has the same claw-style fastening for the plastic end tanks as the Valeo, but the metal claws are about twice as wide as those of the Valeo in a picture I found on this...

Hi, does anyone know if a CLK W209 2006 2.2 cdi gearbox will fit into a CLK W209 2003 2.7cdi as my gearbox has gone down the dreaded valeo radiator path, ie glycol in the transmission oil.

As a new owner of a 2002 Mercedes E270 CDI I have been reading of serious problems if your vehicle is fitted with a Valeo radiator. How can I find out and identify if there is a problem.
