Re: [MBZ] nissens

That would be true for a no-name brand but Nissens is not that. For less than 
half the money I wouldn't even consider OEM.
When I was first in college I spent a summer as a delivery driver for an auto 
radiator wholesaler. We pushed our house brand the hardest but considered 
Nissens and Behr of equal quality.

There is no way to know for sure, but I bet OEM at that price will
keep you from wrenching radiators at less frequency.  Cheaper in the
long run.  China or aftermarket may be half price but at twice as
often, OEM is cheap.  However, OEM may be made in china?

To answer your last question first, yes, you are missing the point by 
using a nuke to find a needle in a haystack.   See below.

Why didn't you stop here?  That answered my question (telling me they 
are a quality product worthy of my Benz) well enough, no need to bs on 
and on and on and on, my friends.  Cause it's the song that never


Luther


but
that they are difficult to deal with as a company.  they change pricing
often and somewhat capriciously and have very much an "our way or the
highway" attitude.  while nissens has been steadily raising prices, behr has
been keeping their prices in line and even dropping some of them.  as a
consequence, nissens has been losing market share among my customers to behr
and to alternative aftermarket companies such as valeo.

it's a high happiness product though.  i don't think anyone has had any
complaints about them at all until kleb.  then again, i have customers write
to me every day about how they get their parts in one or two business days,
while it somehow takes kleb six weeks to get them.

but again, if you want a behr, then get a behr.  i'm very much a creature of
habit so i tend to gravitate towards the same brands:  behr, bilstein,
stribel, eberspacher, lemforder, sachs, phoenix, beru, graf, akebono, et
al.  i'm very comfortable with the european, north american or japanese made
products of these companies (although some of the stuff from china has been
dissapointing despite claims that they are "identical" to the products
formerly made in germany".  i have no bad feelings about, say, a hepu or a
geuine water pump, but will always use a graf.  i don't dislike bosch plug
wires, but i will always choose a beru or, to save money, karlyns made with
beru or bremi components.  i will always prefer ate slotted rotors for my
front brakes, but i think plane jane zimmerman or balo discs are pretty good
too (in fact, italian made ate or brembo seem to be slightly less
troublesome than the german brands, although i'm avoiding brembo entirely
now as nearly all of their aftermarket rotor production is now chinese).  i
will always choose akebono pads for the front, but can happily recomment
textar/pagid to anyone.  (and i will use chinese crap for the most part on
the rears, but can see why someone else wouldn't).  i will generally prefer
brand new ate brake calipers over rebuilts, but i can see why someone would
want to spend $60 on rebuilts instead of $200 on new ones.

so if you don't like nissens, buy a behr.  i'll generally buy a behr myself,
but still am confident that nissens is a very high quality product.  i only
use mobil1 and brad penn oil, but if you want to use havoline or valvoline,
i'm not going to say you are a bad person using a bad product.

i use a ceramic "steel" to keep the edge on my knives, but you can use a

is there something here i'm missing about what kleb and luther are trying to

Re: [MBZ] Nissens radiators not as good as Behr

Is the Nissens plastic that much superior to the Behr?

Re: [MBZ] Nissens radiators?

[tyler]

I have thought about this (and did it on a Volvo diesel once) but the 
problem is the sharp angles and the unusual fitting of the turbo cooling 
lines to the middle of the lower radiator hose.


I could get some industrial hose with the correct diameter and 
durability, but I would have 2 problems:
1) I would need several large brass elbows to enable the hose to make 
the bends necessary
2) The extra weight and reduced flexibility of these hoses would 
probably stress crack the plastic radiator


My suspicion (that I've been unable to confirm) is that the regular 190D 
OM602 coolant hoses might work, minus the coolant fitting for the turbo. 
This would be easy to add, since many 80 turbo cars (like the later 
Volvo 240 Turbos) came with an aluminum radiator hose coupler/splice to 
get coolant for the turbo. I could probably find one in the junkyard. I 
don't want to risk getting even the regular 190D hoses though, since I 
can't tell if they'll work until it's too late and they're probably also 
very expensive.

There have to be companies out there that make custom-fit coolant
hoses for hot-rod and kit-car builders (otherwise how would you ever
put an arbitrary engine into an arbitrary chassis with the resulting
arbitrary distance between block and radiator?).  Wonder if that would
be cheaper?  Or maybe you can source some sort of tubing with the
correct temperature and corrosion-resistance specs from an
industrial-supply house like McMaster-Carr?

Re: [MBZ] Nissens radiators?

[tyler]

I got it from MACS, a small radiator shop that happened to be a block 
from where I discovered the problem. I was 1,000 miles from home and 
needed to get to work the very next day- and the shop had the radiator 
for me in under an hour! It's an OEM Behr... I have absolutely no idea 
how it was possible for them to source a german radiator for such a rare 
car in under an hour. When they said they could do it, I would have bet 
money they were mistaken, and I still didn't really believe it could be 
the right one until after I installed it.


The radiator is for a 190D Turbo- and Mercedes said it would take 1 week 
and cost $673.40 to get. I couldn't buy it from you because I would have 
been stranded and missing work while waiting for it to ship to 
Washington, and your online price is was higher at the time (but now 
your site says only $388 for it- still not worth missing a week of work 
over).


For this same car, I've been looking for a replacement set of cooling 
hoses, and have been unable to even get a quote from anyone but the 
dealer, who wants something like $450 and has a one week wait for just 
the upper and lower radiator hoses which is absurd. I hope I never have 
a hose burst or I'm screwed!

Re: [MBZ] Nissens radiators?

[Hendrik & Fay]

Nissens are alright but do not have the drain valve found on the Behrs, 
so it is takey off hose time to drain the juice.
Nissen are a Danish aftermarket parts supplier and as such should be no 
drama. Although you can generally screw the parts people down to price 
match the Behr.
I put a Nissen on a 190E and it fitted A OK and cooled nicely, just did 
the one on my Mum's 190E and got a good price on the Behr so I used that.

I put a new Nissens in my 82 300SD about 100K miles ago.  No problems yet.

Re: [MBZ] Nissens radiators?

[OK Don]

In my limited experience with used radiators, not one has been worth the
money, even the $20 one I got from you. Just buy the new one and be done
with it.

I used them in my old 220D & one of my old 240D's I also put one in one of
the 123 bodies I owned but I don't remember which one. They worked great.
