Detailed Description

This Nissens intercooler, part number 96419, is engineered for front-mounted charge-air cooling on 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz ML320, 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz R320, and 2010-2013 Mercedes-Benz R350 models. The aluminum core and brazed cooling fin construction are designed to promote efficient heat exchange, while the plastic tanks match the style commonly used in OE-style cooling assemblies. If you are replacing a worn Mercedes-Benz R350 intercooler or sourcing a front intercooler for an ML320 or R320, Nissens 96419 provides a direct-fit solution with the specified inlet and outlet sizing.

Nissens develops thermal and engine-efficiency components for aftermarket use, and this intercooler reflects that focus with application-specific fitment and measured core dimensions. This part cross-references OE numbers 1645001900 and A1645001900 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

• Reduced boost-air cooling efficiency from a damaged or leaking intercooler
• Cracked end tanks or core damage from age, road debris, or vibration
• Loss of charge-air pressure in front-mounted turbocharged diesel applications
• Heat-soak concerns caused by a restricted or deteriorated intercooler core
• Fitment issues when replacing the original Mercedes-Benz front intercooler

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front-mounted intercooler layout and compare inlet and outlet diameters before installation. Inspect adjacent charge-air hoses, clamps, and seals for wear, and confirm the mounting points align with the vehicle’s existing brackets. For Mercedes-Benz ML320, R320, and R350 applications, matching the OE-style dimensions helps ensure proper airflow and connection fitment.
