Hello All,
I have a 1987 300SDL I am having a problem with the fan and or the fan clutch. When I shut off the car at normal temp. (80-85 Deg C) the fan just spins and spins untill it slows down. At higher temps (just shy of 100 Dec C) it does the same thing. I've searched on the forum and from what I've found the fan is not supposed to start working untill about 105 Deg but i'm not sure if this is in Faranhite or in Celcius. The other problem with the fan is that it wobbles while it is running. I think that I need a new clutch but I just wanted to make sure that I wasnt missing anything obvious.
Also If the clutch is bad should I consider trying to put new gel in it? The P.O.(sixto) did this and I wasnt sure if I should try it again or not. Also will clutches off of other 126 engines fit? They have different part numbers but I think I might be able to take the blades and clutch and make it work.

Sorry about the lenght of the question
--Matt
