I replaced mine with a new Nissens as soon as we bought the car. No way am I risking the transmission from blowing up for $170. I also had blackstone labs oil test the transmission fluid for coolant to be safe and it came up OK so I got lucky but there are plenty of nightmare stories with the stock Valeo radiator during that time frame and MB never admitted to fault about it. I would highly suggest you replace the radiator regardless.
And for what its worth, 0-40 Mobil1 is the correct oil for the M112 if you have the FSS...I dont believe that oil is approved by MB.

The odd bit is that most valeo failures are of W211 models - with some oddball cases of W210 too.
