Re: [MBZ] W115 radiator?
Try a radiator repair shop. I have had the rad in my old Chevy pickup and Suburban recored and they worked well. The 115 does not have the plastic end caps on the rad so it should be readily repairable.

Re: [MBZ] W115 radiator?
Heck, just take out the one you have and put a small weld on it. That will plug the hole and allow you to not lose water out that way. Does not really reduce your cooling enough unless the car is used in the desert or hot hot summers. I have seen the radiators with holes the size of baseballs soldered up and running around Seattle. Not that I would want to do that myself. clay On Sep 30, 2008, at 9:56 AM, Tim C wrote: Hi, I'm hunting a w115 automatic radiator for my '74 240D, I've got a pinhole leak in mine somewhere.

[MBZ] W115 Radiator
Hi Tim, I have an auto radiator out of a 1976 300D sitting in my garage. It appears a little different from the one I currently have in my 1975 300D, seemed to fit a little tighter as I recall. Not sure if it is original equipment for the '76 or not. Previous owner may have swapped it from something else. It's been sitting for 5 or 6 years, so I'm not sure how good it is, but it came out of a running vehicle. You are welcome to it for the cost of shipping.
