Nissen, Valeo, or Behr are good options. Valeo appears to be the OEM supplier.

C43 AMG with a tune up
Valoe had bad design contaminating transmissions with coolant.
I would stay away from Valeo, however nowadays perhaps Valeo got their design improved?

That's what I read, apparently Behr is better

BEHR is the best but there seem to be a slight difference between OE BEHR and OEM BEHR.
I red somwhere that OEM part is not very good I think it was made in China or something?
It's been a while since I red this info so I might be wrong?
Better to ask shop where rads are manufactured before purchase.
