W210 Radiator problmes

So got home today barely, coolant leaked out. Looks like the radiator is leaking. I know its probably expensive, but any suggestions where to get one cheap, and/or what the best way is to replace it.

There have been a few threads about radiator replacements. Call Phil at fastlane, he has the contacts.

another question. are the gasser and diesel radiators the same or different. Found some cheap E320 radiators, but not sure if they will fit.

Be careful of 'cheap' radiators, they may not last. You would need to compare the radiator side by side to see if a gasser one would fit.

Just went through this... My radiator split down the left side. I went the cheap route with an ebay radiator for about $150.

The radiator is a real PITA to replace. There's virtually no room to work and it all fits together like a puzzle.

The gas and Diesel radiators are different.

Here's the one I got:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCEDES-RADIATOR-W210-300-TURBO-DEISEL-210-500-32-03_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem45eba9fd16QQitemZ300306529558QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAcces sories

Ignore that the picture is wrong, the part number is right.

Also I tried searching for a thread that explains the radiator replacement, but could not find anything.
