valeo

Have just purchased a W209 clk55 and want to upgrade the rad to a newer behr for peace of mind. Can anyone recommend somewhere who will do it for a fair price in SE England (London, Essex, Kent, Herts) ? Also, if anyone knows where I can get one online cheap to take to the garage to save a...

Did the E class have the same radiator issue as the C class?

Could someone help shed some light on this for me please. I have looked at a couple of E55's lately, one a 2004 the other a 2006. Both have had the radiator with the square edged crimping. Searches show that this indicates that they are Valeo, but I thought they stopped using them around...

I've just bought a W203 C220 CDI Sport Coupe, 1 previous owner and FSH, with 90k miles, just wondered if someone could tell me wether this looks like a Valeo or Behr radiator?, I saw a white sticker on it which usually points to that the radiator has been changed but I wanted to make sure...

Hi Guys, I have bought a C32 and it has the Valeo Radiator. i have just checked on Eurocarparts and they stock the nissens and the EIS radiators, the EIS one with our MBCLUB25 code is £113.00. Is this a good price but more importantly is this radiator up to the job?? Does anybody have any...

Ever since I purchased my E55 I've experienced issues with it jerking when pulling away and also rumbling (like going over a rumble strip in the road) under light acceleration. After a bit of investigation I came across all the threads regarding coolant getting into the transmission fluid and...

I received a call from my Wife yesterday to say that our E320 CDI W211 was stuck at the school carpark, as she had selected reverse, but there wasn't any drive to the wheels. I went and had a look, and as it had been switched off for a while. I started it, put it into reverse and it all worked...

Hi folks, Several years ago I enjoyed a W210 E55 AMG for a couple of hundred thousand miles. Now I'm back in the market with £7k to buy a nice 2004 W211 E220 or E270 diesel. Through general research I've so far learned to test all the electrics of any car I'm interested in, as well as...

I have read many threads "condeming" valeo rads on the 2002 c32 AMG I have a 2002 c32 with a valeo rad done 120000 miles and gear box feels fine.. I'm concerned about it , should I change it for a behr radiator and change transmission oil to be safe? Thoughts please, Is the problem actually...

I own a 2003 W209 which might be potentially infected with the glycol issue. I have read on the forum ways how to identify your radiator based on the crimpring method of the coolant hoses etc. Lots of people have trouble Identifyinf their rad brand, so this weekend I was able to get a good...

My E320 cdi had it's faulty Rad replaced under warranty along with oil cooler two years ago with all fluids, gearbox fluids etc at a cost of 5k. Thing is they replaced it with another Valeo unit. Should I be worried or have the since improved the orginal design?

Ok so I knew that I had a Valeo radiator and was planning to replace it soon anyway but..... I took my car in for service, new thermostat and ATF change today, I asked my local Indie to send a sample of the ATF away for a glycol test although I haven't had any symptoms in the car. He rang me...
