Radiator Fix
Thanks everyone for the replies. Looks like a new radiator will fix the problem.
Is it a DIY job. Doesn't seem to difficult. I live in Kent, WA. Does anyone know of a good shop? |

Absolutely a DIY. I did it this morning before coming to work. Doesn’t make sense to pay someone hundreds of extra dollars to do something so straightforward. This is the DIY for the W124. Yours should not be too different. http://www.peachparts.com/Wikka/W124Radiator Enhancements/clarifications to the article based on my experience with the 95 E320:
The only things that slowed me down were the fan – specifically, getting it back on since my hands are too big to maneuver easily between it and the radiator to refasten the bolts; and getting the radiator clips back on (i discovered strong, needle nose-type pliers make it much easier.) Eliminate these two obstacles and this is a one-hour job, at most. (But don’t try to convince your local shop of that.) Finally, the price spread between OEM Behr and aftermarket radiators is too small to waste time bargain hunting. Get the real thing.
