Need radiator advice for 94 SL dohc

gbelous · 07-02-2007, 06:52 PM

I have been reading a lot of these radiator posts and I've gathered a few sites that people have shopped for radiators at....the list is below...does anyone have any preference or bad experiences with any of these sites? I'd like to narrow it down as soon as possible. Thanks for all the help!

have you priced one local to you? I'd personally prefer a lifetime warranty radiator from a local place, so if you have problems with it you can get it exchanged much more easily. Unless local places are far more expensive, I'd go that route...

Yeah, I have looked at the local places...autozone and advance are between 160 and 180..napa is even more. That is just out of my budget right now...I also need to change the valve cover gasket and thats about another 40 +- so the less the better right now.

if you still need one we have saturn rads for 75.00 and shipping, good news is from 8/93 up they were all the same, so we can send you one from a nice late model 00-02 and itll bolt right in, you certainley dont want to go used and get another 13 year old one! let me know if we can help, and ours has a full year warranty, thanks!

Finally got the radiator changed...took almost 2 days because the lower oil coolant line bolt was stuck and got stripped to I had to replace that whole hose with one from the dealer. It was a b!#&% but it got done.
