CLK 55 AMG - Valeo Rad

[poppopbangbang]

Hi All,

Trying to decide if I should do a pre-emptive rad replacement on my 209 2003 CLK 55 AMG. It's managed 11 years and 150K miles so far without destroying the gearbox so a big part of me thinks if it was going to fail it would have by now.

Any feedback?

I had a CLK 500 with that type of radiator. I didn't change it but I did fit an auto fluid cooler as a precaution. I think I paid a bit over £160 4 years ago. To change the radiator would have been £350+. New gearbox several thousands. Probably worth the expense for the peace of mind.
