Does this radiator come with an electric fan?

No, this radiator does not include an electric fan. However, it does come with CNC-cut mounting brackets that are designed to work with 16-inch SPAL electric fans, such as the low profile #30100400 or medium profile #30101516. You will need to purchase the fan and a fan controller separately.

What is the difference between this radiator and the original OEM unit?

This CSF radiator features an all-aluminum, 2-row, 42mm core with advanced B-tube technology and multi-louvered fins, which significantly improves heat dissipation and airflow compared to the original plastic-tank, single-row aluminum core. It's built for higher performance and longevity.

Can I use this radiator if my 190E does not have A/C?

This specific CSF radiator (Part #7220) is designed for 190E models that originally came equipped with factory A/C. CSF is also developing a separate radiator for models without factory A/C.

Product Details

If you're looking to restore or enhance the cooling system on your 1986-1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 or 2.5-16, this high-performance aluminum radiator from CSF is a solid option. Mercedes no longer produces the original radiator, making this a crucial part for keeping these German classics on the road. This radiator is built with an all-aluminum, TIG-welded construction for increased strength and durability, designed to handle the demands of spirited driving or even motorsports applications.

CSF has engineered this radiator with a 2-row, 42mm core that significantly boosts fluid capacity and heat dissipation over the stock plastic-tank, single-row design. They utilize their exclusive B-Tube technology, which is said to increase heat transfer by about 15% compared to standard oval tubes. The core also features nearly double the cooling fins and tubes of the original, along with multi-louvered fins to maximize airflow. This radiator is a direct, drop-in fit, meaning it mounts in the factory location without any modifications needed.

For owners looking to upgrade from the factory mechanical fan, CSF includes CNC-cut mounting brackets that accept popular 16-inch SPAL electric fans. Additionally, for those who might remove the factory AC condenser for track use and want to add an oil cooler, CSF has included threaded inserts (M8 x 1.25) for mounting one, though you'll need to fabricate your own brackets. This radiator is individually leak and pressure tested, and comes with a 2-year limited warranty, giving you confidence in its performance and longevity.
