Over continuous thermal cycles, the high operating pressures of the turbocharged \u003cstrong\u003eM274\u003c\/strong\u003e and biturbo \u003cstrong\u003eM276\u003c\/strong\u003e powerplants degrade this plastic resin. This thermal stress induces micro-cracking, gasket flattening, and eventual failure along the crimp seam, leading to sudden coolant loss, air cavitation, and severe cylinder head thermal distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a robust direct replacement, this unit features 100% TIG-welded aluminum end tanks paired with a furnace-brazed 1-row tube-and-fin aluminum core. By replacing the composite materials with aircraft-grade aluminum, it eliminates brittle mechanical crimp joints. The high-efficiency fin pitch enhances surface area contact for improved convective heat transfer, resisting heat soak during heavy engine load and sustained highway speeds without requiring chassis modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Direct-fit all-aluminum radiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtective port caps (pre-installed for shipping)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100% style=\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2015-2016 Mercedes Benz C-Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eM274\u003c\/strong\u003e (2.0L) \u0026amp; \u003cstrong\u003eM276\u003c\/strong\u003e (3.0L) \/ \u003cstrong\u003eW205\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e241–362 hp \/ 273–384 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0995002003\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCIR25000P\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e30002712\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e995002003\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eA099-500-2003\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eA0995002003\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e606292\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2015-2016 Mercedes Benz C-Class C300 2.0L (W205)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2015 Mercedes Benz C-Class C400 3.0L (W205)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2016 Mercedes Benz C-Class C450 AMG 3.0L (W205)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the W205 C-Class?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2015-2016 Mercedes Benz C-Class equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eM274\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0L or \u003cstrong\u003eM276\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.0L engine. \u003cstrong\u003eThis radiator is not intended for C63 AMG V8 models or earlier W204 chassis variants.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this unit include an integrated transmission oil cooler?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, an internal transmission oil cooler is not included; verify your existing auxiliary transmission cooling setup and hose routing prior to installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Mercedes Benz Precision Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern German engineering demands uncompromising tolerances and stable thermal management.
