My roommate's 1991 W126 350SDL's fan clutch bolt loosened, which caused the plastic fan blades to hit the radiator and ruin both the radiator and the blades.


The part number on the original fan blade is 606 200 00 23. Several websites show that this part number has an MSRP of $78 and is no longer available in genuine Mercedes. I found a new aftermarket (ACP GERMANY) fan blade for just over $20. It was advertised as the same part number as the original fan blade (606 200 00 23), though the blades are narrower than what was on the car, and the ends of them are rounded instead of square.

However, when the fan blade arrived, the receipt showed part number 606 200 01 23, instead of 606 200 00 23. So, I went back to the website, and it indeed shows the correct part number of 606 200 00 23. Then I looked up the part number on the sticker on the part, which is 0759.0205, and cross-references to the correct 606 200 00 23 part number I need on several different websites.

So, it seems this must be the correct replacement fan blade for the vehicle, but I just wonder with the blades being narrower and the edges more rounded than the original blade. Does anyone see any reason why this new ACM fan blade won't work correctly for the vehicle in which I'm installing it? Thanks.

If it bolted up with the right clutch, it should work. The test is high temperature idle/traffic creeping with AC on.
