The radiator on the 300TE is working perfectly, it was taken out to repair a leak outside of the unit and it was tested. Did O.K. on the test.

Yes, the fix fun clutch slightly increases fuel consumption, but the strain on the engine is minimun.

About how to do it on a 190? Well, the tech explained to my cousin and I the procedure. Although it sounded extremely simple, I would not venture on the details as it is not my expertize field.

Generally, he talked about the fan clutch on the 190s being magnetically operated. He places an special, very thin seal between the fan and the clutch when it is disengaged (which is supposed to be just a minituare clearence) and this will make the fan operate constant.

The seal is made of a special material which is heat resistant and also especially configured so it will make the fan operate straight (he mentioned other procedures used to fix the 190s fans which eventually offset fan rotation degrading its effectiveness).

But, back to the original topic, any clues on how to do it on an M103 300TE?
