Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Dorman 620-773 Radiator Fan Assembly in Sleek Black: Ultimate Engine Cooling Solution by Johnny Wheat

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The seven-blade fan has a four-pin connector.

Seven bladed fan has a four pin connector for connection to the vehicle wiring harness. The 2004 VW Beetle Turbo S has a matching four-pin connector. This Dorman 620-773 has a 3-pin connector for a 7-blade fan. Summary: This Dorman product will not work with a 2004 VW Beetle despite the website saying so. I called Dorman. Will not work. All of this confusion was the result of VW engineering changes (I spoke to VW of America). The only way I can find is to buy the motors separately. There are a few retailers that have 4-pin motors, but they (combined 7- and 9-blade fans) are $400-$500. Someone saw us coming.

Pros
  • Economical and Reliable - Reliable production at a much lower price than the dealer equivalent part
Cons
  • Fits
