Opinion on aftermarket "Uro" brand M103 fan clutch bracket? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I had one Febi straight out of the box where the flange was pushed way back allowing the pulley to rub badly on the front of the engine. The replacement Febi has been fine so far, 50,000 miles/2 years or so.

I generally don't have many issues at all with Febi/Bilstein/Meyle stuff.

Thanks for the response.

That bearing bracket replacement is not something I want to do twice because of a defective and/or poor quality bracket. I normally bite the bullet and purchase OE Mercedes parts in cases like this. However, even my cost is $260 for an OE one from the dealer. The Febi bracket that I purchased cost half of that.

Has anyone else had any experience with the Febi bracket?

I've had it in my 260E for about a year now, smooth, quiet no issues.

I've had good experience with Febi/Bilstein products so far.
