W219 CLS Valeo radiator and gearbox coolant leak issue / or non-issue?

[philnewmerc]

Hi all. I know there are plenty of tails about radiators corroding and letting coolant enter into the gearbox oil - I just wanted to check if anyone knows if my CLS w219 from 2005 ever had that issue and if it is worth checking / replacing the rad? Thanks (CLS55 btw)

Don't hear of it on the forum at all now. It used to be solved by changing to a Behr radiator.
If it hasn't happened by now you are pretty safe.

The CLS55 will be fine, it was the older cars from 02/03 era had the bad rads
