Slk32 coolant leak

[GAV105N]

Hello all , due to the current situation we are all in I’ve decided to sort some jobs out on my little Slk ,it would appear my radiator ( not charge cooler) is leaking , genuine mb rad is ££££ , anyone used or had experience with the Nissens brand radiators or best to avoid and look for an alternative ?

Thanks in advance

I fitted a new Nissen to the old W211 E220, been perfect, picked up from local factor.

Only recommendation I'd make is buy from a good source, preferably a known motor factors.
I wouldn't simply pick cheapest seller on Ebay.

Alternative is to have it repaired by a reputable radiotor specialist. It's what we used to do back in my day.

Nissens Rads are on the whole fine to use. We have had some though (for AMG's) missing some brackets on them. Id be inclined to fit genuine MB.
