Valeo Radiator Part Numner
HI,
I was searching for a cheaper alternative then buying a radiator straight from MB. I ran across this site http://www.mitchsautoparts.com/15.html
I emailed the guy and he said the part V732849 is Valeo's part number for the updated radiator. He said they are brand new units he recieved directly from Valeo- Can anyone verify this is an update part? I did some internet searches and came up empty. 219.00 is alot better than MB's 700...
thanks all-

Thanks- I have the MB part numbers- I just thought someone might be familiar with Valeo and thier numbers- As previously posted this seller states it is a new updated part from Valeo but without verification i am not going to waste my money. With all the tranny talk on this forum i figured there would be quite a bit of interest in a 200.00 replacement. Especially since most 2003 models are out of warranty...
Thanks-

You can click on the product catalog and look under cooling parts for the specified vehicle and all the MB/Valeo P/N cross references are there-
SOOO if any of you has the affected radiator and would like to buy a replacement for a fraction of the cost (219.00) the site above has them in stock- for that kind of money I am gonna grab one myself- This info should possibly be put in a sticky as much as this issue is discussed here. This is a fairly cheap solution- Hope this helps someone in the future.

Just FYI-
I got my radiator today and i wanted to let everyone know it is the updated part per the TSB. It has the 2 clamps flat on the bottom VS the angled clamps on the older radiator-
I will snap some comparison pics as soon as i get the install underway.

w211 E500
I'm a bit late to the party, so apologies for the thread resurrection... but my thanks go to Gisham for this info.
I recently purchased a late 2002 w211 E500 and the folder of receipts showed me that the previous owner had the radiator replaced at the beginning of this year (@ 97K miles), along with a new torque converter, flush & reconditioned auto gearbox.
A physical check showed me that the replacement radiator was another Valeo
... so was a bit concerned.
However, as it has the part# 732849 on it (along with a date of 22/1/2010) this seems to tie in with the groundwork Gisham did when finding the updated part elsewhere... my mind is now at rest again
Thanks
Andy.
