Transmission Oil Cooler

for 1996 Mercedes-Benz C280 W202 2.8L I6 M104 · RWD
🔧Does this apply to your car? On most cars the transmission cooler is built into the radiator side tank, not a separate part — this job most likely doesn't apply to your vehicle (cooler service happens with radiator replacement). Standalone auxiliary coolers are typically found on trucks, vans, and vehicles with a tow package.

The same data would cost $169/mo from Mitchell1 or $30/year from ALLDATAdiy — and you'd be renting access, not freeing it. Sponsor once, free forever.
