When I shut the engine off, the Fan keeps spinning for a while after shut off. In turn, sounds like the engine is kind of still running. I have had the Fan Clutch replaced in the past, just curious as to whether or not this may need another replacement...if so, do any other model Merc's use the same Fan Clutch?

thanks...
Mario

any body??? anything??? please???

I believe another method by which you can check fan clutch failure is to see if you can spin the fan blade freely after the engine has sat cold overnight. If it spins with no resistance, the clutch is bad. As far as getting a new one, search ebay.

will other model's fan clutch work on my 1993 300D? they look similar...

thanks...

Be careful with this, many of the Mercedes fan clutches look similar but are model-specific. The only interchangeability I found is below:

1990-1993 300D's
1992 and 1993 300SD's

That's not to say there might not be others, but be careful.... you don't want to drop big bucks on the wrong fan clutch. Why do you want to use a fan clutch from another model anyways?

GH80,

I suspect that even if your V fan clutch were totally shot "IT" would stop
rotating within 1or2 rpm's.

?Could you be hearing the ELECTRIC fan(s) [in front of the Radiator/Condensor]?

Hint...Run the engine until hot , shut it off (BUT, first open the hood) and
listen to where the sound is coming from.

I am not conversant with the electric fan relay setup on this model(EVEN
though I own one)

BUT

Many of today's (a 12 year old 'Benz is so far advanced, technology speaking
that it qualifies)cars electric fans (accessory) will continue to spin until the
engine temps fall below a preset level.
