My scion has a denso in it, and it's fine, that is now 12 years old. Interesting data you have that is just random.


Some people do get that life from a Denso radiator, but I find that they usually don't. I once had one fail after 7 years.


ahh.. sorry that it didn't last as long as other people had them last..

I'd only choose between Behr and Nissens... on BMW and Mercedes of that vintage its generally preventive maintenance. Usually they'll start leaking at the end fittings.

It's time as well, not just mileage... I've had a lot of 15-20 year old BMW and Mercedes (regardless of mileage) need radiators and water pumps.
