Review on BMW Engine Cooling Fan Clutch Replacement for ๐Ÿ”ง 3-Series, 5-Series, X5, Z3, E34, E36, E39, E46, E53 by Noah Lewis

Faulty and Potentially Dangerous

Don't buy this clutch, pay extra for the original clutch (Mable, Behr or Sachs). I bought this one because it was half the price of the original but immediately regretted it. This clutch engages too frequently and locks too hard. These fan clutches are designed to "slip" a bit, but this one doesn't. A connection above the engine spins the fan faster than it should, which has been known to cause fans to self-destruct and damage the radiator, hoses and even the hood itself. Stay away from this thing and get OEM!
