Replacement radiator help - 2000 E55 AMG
The plastic end of my radiator my 2000 E55 AMG has a huge crack. I’m assuming that it can’t be repaired so I need a recommendation for a brand of radiator and what to be aware of when I replace it. Things like seals etc.
Thanks in advance

Yes you need to replace it I’ve used Behr in the past. Pretty straight forward nothing special. Good time check your coolant, fan clutch, water pump, pulleys, belt and any oil leaks from the front of the motor since it will be easy to access with the radiator and fan shroud out of the way.

Behr is fine. What kind of connections do the transmission lines use on the 210? If it uses the metal clip retainers like in the 209s and 203s, you'll want to use your old factory ones as they are made of harder steel.
I had issues with lines popping out when using the retainers that came with the radiator.
