radiator

Post by danix »

Mine is leaking where the a/c line passes through the radiator.
I can only find two new ones - one on ebay, one at BMW of Monterey (or Germany).
I don't think the original can be rebuild since it has plastic ends, right?
Why is the TD radiator different than say the 528i version? I know the TD has the oil cooler built in, or I think it does.
Just wondering if someone has already done this research, I'll check the parts catalog if not.

The AC lines do not pass through the radiator, those are the transmission cooler lines. The Diesel engine does have an oil cooler, but it is a separate item and located low and in front of the AC condenser, not integral to the radiator in any way.
