hey guys i was going to go and get a new radiator and get my transmission flushed but i cant seem to find a radiator anywhere other than the dealer and thats just way too expensive (1000). i tried 1-800- RADIATOR and they wont have any until January if they do get that in stock. anybody know of anybody that sells radiators or know of a place where i can get one for cheap. i really needed to get it asap. thanks guys.

Try car-parts.com, they are hooked up to many salvage yards, you may be able to score one from a 2004+. Also google Auto Gator in Roseville, I have used them and they have decent prices.

BTW, don't the MB have some sort of recall on these?

Exerpt from a chat I just had at www.radiator.com, looks promising......

Chuck : There are a couple of different radiators, ranging in price between $99.00 and $299.00. All run about 1/3 what the dealer charges. Hold on ---

Chuck : I could sell this to you but the '03 Mercedes was a little tricky. Your best bet is speaking to Hank, our lead E500 technician (or one of his techs), he usually figures out the right radiator the first time.

Chuck : Thank you. We'll always be here whether you need a radiator or just free advice. You can call us if you prefer at 800-598-5504. Bye!

Hope this helps.

yeah funny thing he told me the same exact thing many times b4 haha. heres the story, i bought one from them for 300 dollars and then returned it b/c i was going to get an extended warranty but it didnt go well, so i went back to radiator.com and they told me that they sold the one i returned and they will not get any until January

according to the dealer there were no recalls for my car. they were all closed accoring to them of accourse

Diesel Benz

Konigstiger should have the recalls listed. Perhaps it wasn't a recall but a TSB. Check your car and serial. If it is from before 9/2003 something, and if it has a Valeo radiator, it probably would be one with the issues.

I just read a W203 owner (with the same issue) getting the radiator very cheap from the dealer, must have been a compensated price because of the known issue. Odd if it does not work in the USA.

can somebody please go through these lists of radiators that i found and see if they will fit the W211 E500. i put in my model and year but they gave me 500 series as a total. PLEASE CHECK THESE AND GET BACK TO ME. thanks

You can't buy a warranty to fix something already broken. Looks like you got busted.

Save yourself any further hassle with this car and buy an OEM radiator, either from the dealer on a wholesale account or oempartsdirect.com for $739. If money is the problem, buy it on a CC, get the car fixed, sell the car, then buy a car that wont require finances out of budget.
