Re: [MBZ] 300SDL radiator

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

Peter, like I said, 86 and later diesel 126s all used the same radiator...
confirmed in the EPC last night.  Plus I have a 91 350SDL in my driveway
with the downflow radiator!

Kaleb, I'd but this if I were you:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Radiator-FOR-1986-1987-Mercedes-300SDL-/162377326319?hash=item25ce715eef:g:TVMAAOSwa~BYTtzn=mtr

They're hard to find anywhere in stock and the price is right.  They're
ugly, but they work.

The downflow radiator was only used in 86, I think, after that the cross-flow 
was used.

The part number is for the cross-flow, I learned all this searching for a rad 
for my brother's SDL.  The picture is usually wrong in the on-line catalog, and 
if you try to order one for an 86, it will come up as out of stock.

Speaking of this, the 5303 part number comes up in the online dealer 
parts sites but says it also fits 300D and TD, which I know is not 
correct. I also see this part number pulling ebay listings with the 
cross flow radiator clearly pictured like would be used in the 124.  I 
am still in shock that there is not even an aftermarket version of 
this.  I did see this pop up

Re: [MBZ] 300SDL radiator

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

86-87 300SDL and 90-91 350SDL radiators are the same.  Both use A 126 500
53 03 (which replaced A126 500 27 03).

Someone (incorrectly) told me that it was possible to install a cross flow
radiator ( from a diesel 124 A124 500 00 02).  I did some heavy research
into this (I bought one) and found that its simply impossible without major
modification to the car.  Its simply not practical.  Getting the right
hoses for the coolant and transmission cooler were possible with all MB
parts, but getting the radiator in place wasn't possible.  The lower mounts
are in a different place, requiring major modifications, but the radiator
also didn't fit in terms of width from what I remember.

I ended up returning all the parts and going with the NOS Behr I found.

The 86 radiator is different than later ones, it's a downflow and not a 
crossflow.  They are only interchangeable if you change the radiator supports.

And the available one is getting scarce

The SDL needs a new radiator. I probably have a used one around here somewhere 
but wanted to price new ones. I checked importec, fcp, and autohausaz and none 
have a radiator listed. Is this some sort of rare item now days? Seems odd.

Re: [MBZ] 300SDL radiator

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

I found 10 or so on car-part.com usa search.


My brother's SDL acquired a cracked hot side tank, and it appears 
that new ones are NLA, at least from any US source.


Does anyone have one in functioning condition?

I'm looking into whether or not it's possible to adapt a 300D 
radiator, as that one is still all over the place from a number of 
manufacturers, for some reason that escapes me (since there were far 
more W126s with the M603 than W124s).


Thanks!

My bad there are two part numbers. The SDL is 1265005303 

It is $448

There is another part that appears possibly interchangable. It is 1265002703

It is $368

Probably why there are no parts out there -- someone goofed and its  
only listed as a W124 part even though it has a W126 part number.
