- 2004 W211 E320 CDi
Hi everyone.
I have now found the right w211 E320CDi that I want to buy (tomorrow morning quite likely)
I checked the VIN and the delivery date was October 2003, which means that the actuak build date could fall before Sept 2003 (when they sorted the Valeo problem) if I am unlucky.
Looking at the large main radiator, it has the straight "castle" crimps on the right hand side header tank, so I assume it to be a Valeo. no matter how much squinting and kneeling down I did, I cannot find the "white dot" or the manf lable.
Now in front of the main radiator in a long thin radiator situated horizontally in front of the bottom 1/3rd of the main radiator. This one clearly has a Behr Germany sticker on the top. I have no idea what this radiator is?
Can anyone please advise me whether I will have a "safe" car, or one with a potential for problems with the radiator/gearbox. My purchasing descision is hinged on this, so I would really apreciate any help as quickly as possible.
Many Thanks and kind regards
