CSF Radiators Replacement Radiator Mercedes-Benz 500SL | SL500 5.0L V8 1990-2002
Select the year of your Mercedes-Benz 500SL:
The all-aluminum replacement radiator for the R129 SL500 features CSF?s known "drop-in fitment", requiring no additional parts or modifications for installation as well as CSF's exclusive B-Tube Technology core; the most advanced and efficient radiator core in the industry. CSF's #8057 will install with no modifications to the OEM fan shroud, A/C condenser, OEM hoses, and all OEM ducting. A complete plug-and-play upgraded replacement solution.
Reasons to replace or upgrade with CSF's #8057 for Mercedes Benz SL500:
- The OEM radiator with plastic end tanks can become brittle and crack/leak over time due to normal wear-and-tear and repeated on/off heat cycles.
- The OEM radiator core can possibly be clogged up with debris affecting the performance of the radiator.
- The OEM radiator may be corroded from the inside due to sediments in the water or lack of scheduled coolant flushes and changes. A common occurrence for vehicles which often sit or are stored, without being driven, for long periods of times.
- The normal life cycle for an OEM radiator is typical 5-10 years. Preventative replacement to a CSF all-aluminum radiator will ensure better performance, higher levels of reliability during driving, and be more durable as an upgraded high-performance replacement to the old or other aftermarket plastic/aluminum radiators.
