I have read there was a problem with engine coolant leaking into the transmission fluid on early examples of the W209 fitted with a Valeo rad. I am about to purchas a 2002 example and was wondering how to tell if it is likely to still have a Valeo rad fitted, and if it has is there still a risk or would it have gone by now?
Thanks, Bob.
 
The only real test if your worried is a glycol test of the fluid, there is no real visual test, 03-53 and some 04 plate cdi's seem to be the one that are generally effected.
