Product Description

The CSF 7220 is a purpose-built, all-aluminum high-performance radiator designed as a direct OEM replacement for the 1984-1993 Mercedes-Benz W201 190E 2.3-16 and 2.5-16 - including the iconic Evolution I and Evolution II variants. With Mercedes no longer producing the original radiator, CSF reverse-engineered one of the factory units to create an OEM+ aluminum version that preserves the 190E's original fitment while delivering meaningful cooling improvements. The result is a TIG-welded all-aluminum core with B-Tube Technology that increases heat transfer by approximately 15% over standard oval-tube designs, paired with multi-louvered fins for maximized airflow.

Designed with the enthusiast and restorer in mind, the CSF 7220 installs directly into the factory radiator mounts with no cutting, trimming, or modifications required. As an added bonus, CSF includes SPAL electric fan mounting brackets to facilitate a modern electric fan conversion for owners looking to retire the factory clutch-style mechanical fan - note that a fan controller is required separately. Whether used for daily driving, spirited track sessions, or concours-level restoration, the CSF 7220 is the definitive cooling upgrade for the legendary 190E Cosworth platform.
