Arrow SL55 Trans Cooler Leak into Radiator?
I've done hours of searching and can't find a definitive answer..

Are the early SL55 AMGs plagued with the faulty Valeo radiators like the W211 cars that the trans cooler busts inside the radiator end tank and mixes fluids?

Preparing to mod my SL55 and wanting to get preventative maintenance out of the way first!

Personally, I haven't seen that as a problem area on the SL's one should worry about.

Any definitive answers on this?
I just picked up an SL55 but have also heard about the issue on the E55. Not sure if it applies to both or is the SL55 had a different trans cooler/radiator setup.
