It likely is a more critical part in the turbodiesel, so I'd be sure before leaving it as is.

Good point I wonder if the euro na 603's had one? Heck even my I4 Camry had one all better cars seem to.

OK, I'll do this when it gets closer to summer. However, I think his MB mechanic did it so I don't think we're in too great of danger. I'm sure it was done when he hit a deer 3 years ago. The hood, fender, and radiator were all replaced.

Do you guys know where I could find a used cooler for one of these?
Thanks

I'll keep my eyes open, I have been hoping to find one getting parted out.
