How goes it followers?

I'm in need of a new radiator. Found two BEHR radiators with slightly different measurements but both seem to fit the 55, one is 240$ while the other is 265$. Also both are sold without oil cooler.

Then I did a quick search but I changed the year from 03 to 05 and this radiator came up. Its way cheaper AND it is also sold WITH an oil cooler. Your thoughts?

Another quick question; how many cooling fans do we have in our engines?
I recon there is just one sitting right on top of the radiator and two of my blades are slightly melted so it needs to be replaced.
On the link below they mention drivers side and passenger side motor fan, what's this about? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

EDIT

I started a thread with pretty much all the details how I broke my radiator.

Man I wish dyno was here. He always has the answer you're looking for, he is highly missed!!

Just a thought, you can get a vin off an 04, and call a benz part place for the part number to verify the right radiator.

Thats pretty clever. My MB stealership is 3min drive from my house so I will swing by in the A.M. to get the part number.
I remember calling them about the fan a few months back and they quoted me 500Chf + 100Chf for installation. For the record 500 swiss francs = 545.598 USD so you know why I buy my parts online from the U.S. No brainer

Sorry to hear about that damage! :eek:

Received your PM. Send another with your VIN and we’ll see which hardware will fit correctly.
