Hi,
Does anyone have a good used radiator to fit this 87 190 2.5 turbo that I just picked up? Also need a passenger side headlight. If a radiator from a n/a diesel car would fit that would be fine too.
Thanks,
Dave

From past experience the radiator is unique to the 87 2.5 turbo the gasser 2.6 will fit the body but the neck for the hoses are in different places I looked for one I could not find it I end up buying a new one

Aren't new ones fairly expensive?

Yes they are compare to the regular 190D n/a engine I can't remember how much I paid I think it was around $350.00

It looks to me like the connections from the 190 D naturally aspirated cars are in the same location as the 87 2.5 turbo I have. Wouldn't it work if that were the case? Also, the gas cars seem to have the trans cooler lines on the opposite side so couldn't you just turn the radiator over and use it that way? Just curious.

This link #3 may help.

Radiator compatibility 190D vs 190E?

I used a 190E radiator for my 190D ( no turbo ) and it fits. It seems the turbo radiator is taller and you may be able to fit a 190E. Look at the dimension and decide if you want to save some money.

Thanks for the info. Looks like the 190 D naturally aspirated radiator would already have the connections on the left (driver's) side for the transmission cooler like my car currently has. If I used the 190 E radiator could I simply flip it over to make the connections for the trans cooler on the side I need them to be on?
