Hey, Gentlemen.....


I am running a plastic 11 blade (IIRC) fan on my 1978 300SD that I got from Pik-N-Pull. I found it in the turnk of a car and recognized it, so I have been using it for a couple of years.

I would like to replace the clutch, buut need to know what fan this car came on from the factory.

Can you assist????

Thanks.....Robert

An 11 blade fan comes standard on the 98-99 E300 (606 turbo).

A 606 fan will not bolt to a 617 clutch and a 606 clutch won't come near bolting to a 617 water pump.

Hmmmm....I wonder if the clutch is the same as my old 300 SD 5 blade aluminum fan???? It has a standard 4 bolt mounting...Thanks for the tip!!!!

Maybe it is 9 blade. I will count it when my wife parks it for more than 5 minutes...

If you need a clutch badly, it might take more than 5 minutes to spin to a stop

You have the 9-blade plastic fan used on mid-84 to 85 models.


Fan- OEM 110 200 03 23
Clutch- Behr 0002001922

You should upgrade to the 0.9:1 water pump pulley too (stock is 1.09:1). Without it you won't get the best cooling capacity.

I did not know about this change !!! Thanks !!

Maybe we are seeing part of the reason why Bert has the cold thermostat!
Just a thought.

Are you sure it's even an OE MB fan? Might it be off a BMW or Volvo?

It has the MBZ star on the blades and the clutch, along with another PN....

As I said that post is for clutch fans. It has nothing to do with pulley size.

Take a poll of actually owners '84 and '85 and the truth will come out.


That is DEFINITELY you! You do that all the time.


Really no emotion here. It's all FI getting bent out of shape when a grown man doesn't get his way and has to resort to name calling.

OK, I'm going to close this thread for a bit.

FI apparently misread the response to his post about the pulleys and got all bent out of shape about his misunderstanding.

enough discussion I think for now.
