Are replacement radiators any good?

[ant500sl]

Hi

Have just pulled a rather battered and blocked radiator from my 560 w126. Does anyone have any experience of the relacement type radiator that sells for around £130 or would I be better off going for a used original? Planning to keep the car for quite a few years.

Cheers

Ant

i once replaced an audi coupe radiator made by a company called VALEO,
I bought it from german and swedish-it was of a good quality as i had no problems with it.

so my experience was a positive one-in my opinion,the german and swedish ones or the eurocarparts ones should be of a good quality plus you will save some money as well compared to the dealer.

Thanks for that. After considering your post and checking the price of a Behr original (£384.00) I have just taken delivery of a Nissens radiator from Euro Car Parts. Very well made and packaged, even includes fitting instructions! Very cheap at £119.00.
