i LOVE my radiator from wizardcooling, its all alluminum, i know that the scotts designed and hand welded it with care and craftsmanship and it was built in my home town, by guys that care....

plus it does an amazing job rated for 330hp - there are no problems cooling down and running perfect temps....it fit in the stock location to a t and hooked up like it was made for - because it was

about 400 bucks

So my Nissen radiator arrived yeserday just as promised. But.........it was damaged in transit The lower plastic neck was cracked. The plastic appeared weak, thin and brittle.

I give Radiator.com top honors for their prompt customer service. However they get an F for packaging. It was packaged in a single thin carton with thin foam on each corner only. FedEx dropped it off with box already open

This time I requested to exchange replacement with Berh for an additional $100. In the course of events I lost any price advantage gained earlier. I demanded double packaging for the replacement. We'll see what happens next...

ADVICE: Do not purchase mail order radiator without double packaging!

I must have got very luckly because when I ordered my Behr it just came in a big Behr box. I think it is covered and held in by foam. They don't want to double box things because shipping costs more.

Question for the W123 folks:

My plastic radiator is leaking at the top seam and the drain. I have an older, all metal radiator from my '78 300D. I was going to have that recored. I have a turbo diesel, but I'm not using the recirculating system, and the radiators are quite different. Anyone know if the turbo radiators really cool better? I haven't noticed they are thicker or have more core area, so I'm thinking not, but.....
