I didn’t have the patience to wait for jb weld to cure enough to prevent the
bolt from just pushing the nut off!

I re-used the captive nuts from the old radiator but they would not stay put!
Perhaps the teeth on the old nuts were worn off? How is the oil cooler held in
place without being bolted to the radiator? I didn’t see any options where a
friction fit would work.

Nut stays in place while installing cooler from awkward position.
Lightly oil bolt threads so JB Weld does not set on threads.

or buy the captive nuts? actually, they are just insurance;
lockbolts. The oil cooler is held in place by friction/gravity.

So I finally replaced the leaking radiator on my 240D today. I bought a new
Behr- Hella from FCP-Euro which cost $195 including shipping.
The job would have been really quick but re-attaching the engine oil cooler to
the radiator proved to be a real nightmare. The problem stems from the fact

Right, there are so many w123 Mercedes still on the road so discontinuing
critical mechanical parts is just plain stupid. People who drive W123s are
usually not in the market for a new Mercedes so it’s not like Mercedes is
sacrificing new car sales by keeping the w123s on the road.

I was going to say, why be that way when Behr still makes them?
But I see that Hella/Behr is selling aluminum and plastic, just like Nissens.
So maybe MBZ dropped them because they can't source an exact match any more.
Didn't Nissens used to be the radiator of choice?

To follow-up, the classic center says that Mercedes no longer makes radiators
for this car and that I should go to the aftermarket.
The dealership told me that I should take the car to a local Indy shop to have
it fixed since they can’t source the part. I wouldn’t take it to the dealership
That's what I would do if I had an old brass and copper radiator.
Not worth thinking about with an aluminum and plastic radiator (like the one I
replaced in my ML350)
30 years ago I'd know where to go.
I wonder if they're still in business?

or if you get a used radiator, just cut off the hoses, then cut off the
ferrules from the fittings, and stick a piece of new hose between the 2
fittings. That would keep the insides clean. You could even make a
couple of wood plugs with a pocketknife and the right sized stick.

Do you think the manual transmission car radiator has any additional
cooling above an automatic transmission car
If it has connections for trans cooler it does not matter, they will just be
left open on a manual car.
