Rad leak need help

Im new here guys, bought my CLS6 last November. The owner claimed the car had 67000 miles on it when i bought it. It is now at 80k. Its really nice ill post pics later but yea. It seems like rad failure. Any tips on looking for a rad ? Links would be greatly apreciated; The rad is labeled pa66-gf30. Do i even have a CL rad ?

pa66-gf30 just means it made of Glass Fiber reinforced PolyAmide resin.

Are you looking for just a replacement or an all aluminum performance type? Oreilly's has an OE replacement liftime warranty for $126.

I googled and found this: https://advancedradiators.blogspot.c...pa66-gf30.html



researching isn't really that hard OP, quit asking for handouts before doing your own due diligence or you're going to have a real hard time in this 'great community'

rockauto or amazon also has good options for radiators and both sites have this tool where you put in your car make and model and they give you the parts that fit your car

Hey I just replaced the radiator myself a week ago. You can find DENSO parts on amazon which are a direct fit. Price was around 80 bucks. It takes about 2 hrs all said and done including coolant bleeds. You only need a wrench and pliers.
