Behr radiator

Post by MarcM »

Behr radiator spec'd for S60 is trash. No reinforcement metal collar in the upper / lower connection. Clips where cooling fan slides into aren't molded correctly and will break on you. Avoid.

Would that be a Hella-Behr that was Made in India? Been there done that. My customer's unit in a P80 leaked badly after 50,000kms at the side and the drain cock damaged the o ring seal the first time I removed it on the day of fitment. I had to seal the drain cock with epoxy to make it leakproof on the first day I fitted it. Absolute garbage at best.

Why am I speaking to a poster that posted 3 years ago?
