One question.. are you guys replacing Valeo radiators like for like?
In the UK, these rads have been the source of glycol contamination and gearbox rebuilds. UK Mercedes forum members have been actively replacing Valeo with Behr or Nisan radiators to solve this expensive problem. You do the same too?

Thanks - I believe the vendors on this site would chime in on parts, rims, mods and I don't want to conflict in their space. Most of the parts I have posted are for maintenance and repair. There are lots of posts like what you've requested for mods, etc. No easy way to concatenate that information IMHO.

I'd be weary too, esp when I hear the words "Used Brakes" and "For sale" in the same sentence. I know it's not like pads or anything but buying used brake components? I would only do it if I pulled the part from a car being parted out that wasn't wrecked.. (maybe from no brakes?) Maybe I am over sensitive about this, but it may just be me. Who knows?

The rubber seals around the coil plugs made them hard to press in, and some of them actually slipped down over the plug. I also pulled one out and the small metal retention clip flew off. I had to pull out my micro pliers and repair it the best I could.
They work fine now that the car is running, but some of the quality issues really made the install annoying. I guess that's the price to pay for savings.

Just installed these on my car... not overly thrilled with the quality.

other sites like parts.com charge $22-37 per wire @ $325 for a set
