Nissan vs. Behr Radiator
Anyone have experience using Nissan radiator vs. a Behr.
Price difference was substantial, and I was told that quality was equal. This would be going into a 16V 190E Thanks, Bob |

Due to a small accident with a truck's hitch, we had to replace the radiator in my wife's TD. I went with a Nissen (made in Demark) radiator. That was last year, have had not problems since.

Nissen is very good quality - some think higher than Behr South Africa.

Behr is the OE radiator so they must be pretty good. Do the Nissens have the metal sleeves in the necks?
If I were planning on keeping the car I would buy the Behr.

How much are the BEHR and Nissen radiators for your car? Could this be another option? Click on the following link and then Catalog and then Radiators. :

The Nissen was $185 locally. The Behr was $250 locally, $155 on ebay (buy it now) with a $25 shipping fee. The price for the Behr at the dealer is $450.
The parts side of this website had the Behr at $330 I think. That link for the Evans product - I didn't see a radiator for less than $250, though it was not easy to navigate. Bob |

There seems to be a quality difference between Behr Germany and Behr South Africa - both of which are available on the aftermarket.
