Radiator 4.6is
Okay I need some clarification. Is the Mahle-Behr radiator the same quality as Behr Hella Radiator? The reason I ask is the Mahle-Behr that ECS tuning carries is about $60 - $70 less than the Behr units sold by Autohausaz, pelican parts, and Bavarian Auto Sport. Any insight that one can provide would be very helpful.

Jay

Sorry, no direct info for you. But I'd trust any cooling system related product with the Behr name on it. IMHO though. Hopefully someone with direct product experience will chime in.

Wow I must just have to try a different vendor like FCPeuro or bite the bullet and get it from the dealer. Yikes

Behr belongs to Mahle and Hella had a cooperation with Behr in the past... So it should be the same part
