Mercedes 280se w108 w109 w111 radiator swap. Compatible Radiator 65-72 Mercedes 250se 280sel 

As Gaff said to Deckard... "You've done a mans job sir!'. Great minds think alike. When I saw the issue with the length of th upper radiator hose my first thoght was to cut it in two and add an extension. Looks almost factory the way you've got it in there. My first Benz was a 71 108 280S. Twin carbs rather than the fuel injection in yours. Same exact color. One of the most beautiful Mercedes ever. Nice to see you keeping this on on the road. I've not looked at all your videos yet but I don't see any signs of rust which is good. One warning if you are not already aware of it. Check the torque on the steering box mounting bolts and the condition of the box section of the chassis where they mount to the steeting box. Mine rusted out there and I was unaware of the issue. Snapped my steering column one day which was a hell of a thing. Fortunately happend while I was parking, not moving at speed. Just something everyone with one of these should be aware of.

Great job! Best part your kids " hit the subscribe button" priceless

Great video and solution!

Excellent… I have a Euro ‘68 W108 and at times she runs hot. Never came with a shroud (believe it or not), which is strange. This year before the hot weather I checked on the fluid and she needed some so I topped it up and took it for a nice long ride and she stayed cool - BUT I love your solution to this potential problem. Nice Job! Also curious if you ever had an issue with the power steering and if so, have a video on that. God Bless 😎

Thank you for this video!! Thank you

Can you please post the part# for the radiator? Thank you I need one for the earlier engine where there was no oil cooler. Looks like what you have used will fit perfectly

can you post a video on how to change the water pump on a 1970 W108 6 cylinders

Pozdrawiam 👍

Amazing work sir, I own 1968 Mercedes 280s, and I’m currently restoring the car. By any chance you know a newer model engine that you would recommend for an engine swap that is reliable. It doesn’t necessary need to be a Mercedes engine.. thank you sir from Saudi ☺️

Hi, do you by chance know if it will fit on an m116 3.5 liter engine?

Hi Patrick, do you have and email I can ask a question about a 1969 300sel i have with severe running rich condition, all plugs black as coal..

No oil unburnt gas from exhaust & some gas getting in oil..car was in storage since 07..only 90k miles, head rebuilt at 70k

Hi, I have a 69 300sel W109..burns super rich , any suggestions?

so these cars came with no coolant tank?

What is the Brand & model of the radiator ??

Green coolant?

Cheap waterpumps and radiators cause very expensive engine overhauls when they suddenly burst and you engine seizes. I personally would have my genuine made in Germany radiator reconditioned.

is this Mercedes for sale
