[diesel_mercedes] Re: Darn those plastic top radiators.

 

I wrote up a note yesterday, but the computer seems to have eaten it.
Popped in the new radiator yesterday morning, not too tough a job, the hardest part was taking off the fan, which you do not have to do, but imo made the job easier, careful with the fan bolts, the heads round very nicely. Car seems to run cooler now, To test, went over to the flaps to get a refund on the gallon of antifreeze and the rotten valve cover gasket, 65mph up the mountain with the a/c, seems to run about 15 deg cooler than the old rad.
Nate, I am jealous, I bought one of the two plastic topped rads available in BC, we are so far back in the weeds that we have to take what is available at the only flaps for about 75 miles.
