2004 CLK 270 CDi MANUAL

[wolczr]

All,

i am looking to purchase a 2004 CLK cdi, manual. Does anyone know whether this one suffers from the leaking VALEO radiator problem? Is there any way of finding out its year of manufacture? It is a 78,000 car with a FMBSH and two owners from new. Any advice welcome.

It's a manual so doesn't have an auto gearbox cooler...

no theyre not affected, as far as im aware. to my knowledge the valeo problem only affects auto's

Thanks to both of you. I thought so but nice to have it confirmed. Its going to look great next to the 300SL - 1993 but oh-so-solid.

Good choice of car, manual and the 270cdi, its going to be cheap on fuel and good to drive,

No problems to look out for?

Very very few, make sure electrics etc work, the engine, clutch and gears are smooth and you should be fine.
