Valeo Radiators
Has anybody had experience with Valeo radiators. (no offense to Fastlane, but it is not worth the hassle/expense to ship to Canada). I have sourced a Valeo radiator that is $50 dollars cheaper than the Nissen, and $110 US cheaper than a Behr. Has anybody used one of these?

I had to change my radiator recently, I went witha factory behr, I just felt more comfortable with OEM Factory installed versus aftermarket versions.

Valeo is an OE vender! They make the original radiator for the "M-class". Also several A/C condensers they make are OE. NISSENS are not OE at all, but they make a good product. But it isn't OE quality.

Well I checked the Valeo radiator out. Definitely not O.E. quality. It was made by Valeo in Morroco. It was in an official box and was supposedly new, but I swear it was a rebuilt radiator. Some of the plastic fittings had plier bites on them. The thing was sprayed black, not aluminium like the original. Well I guess I will pony up and get the Behr!
