Euro 1983 280SL MB VIN# WDB10704212017434 (Not Listed ???) Automatic
Radiator
Purchased a radiator for a 1983 "380" SL.
My MB is a 83 Euro "280" SL. Are these radiators interchangeable? My 280SL has the tran. oil cooler is attached to side of radiator. The recent purchased rad. has a integrated tran. oil cooler feature. The lenghts and connections are the same.

Awesome! The trans. cooler connects to the bottom and the "oil cooler" is the attachment to the side of my 280SL rad.
Will replacing my 280Sl rad with the 380SL rad. and alter the oil cooler damage anything?
Sincerly!

450SL
I don't know. The first couple of years North American 450SLs had the oil cooler. Then they went with the full size radiator. The Rest of the world models still had the oil cooler.
