Some Of you cats remove the mechanical fan. Anyone have one I can have to love and to hold and to treat right?

do you need the complete assembly? or do you just need the fan clutch?

I dont have a used one any more - but I can get you a new fan and clutch for $125

I also have the idler pulley - http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/078121235g/ES283614/ - but that would be used

Can you get it by tomorrow

PS i have a new pulley - i'm good there. I was an idiot and decided to throw the mechanical fan clutch out when i did my timing belt a few months ago. thought the electric fan would be enough - it's not :(

DJ you could always toss an electrical one in too

Re: Any b5 owners have a spare mechanical clutch fan?

i just got the fan, no assembley.
DJ where are you finding its giving you temp issues?

i removed the fan blades to clearance the intercooler pipes. But mine's a US spec car so i think something was slightly different with the front end but im not sure.

Re: Any b5 owners have a spare mechanical clutch fan?

andrew your US car has 2 electrical fans

you have the one in the radiator support/clip then the one that attaches up front in front of the rad too

CDN s4 cars just have the electrical and mechanical fans in the front clip/rad support

a6's and AR's got the extra fan like yours (my AR does anyways)

Re: Any b5 owners have a spare mechanical clutch fan?

ya it was the front electric thats different.
silly germans thinking we drive around in snow all year

Re: Any b5 owners have a spare mechanical clutch fan?

Thanks nathaniel! that works great.

andrew, i was experiencing heating issues in stop and go traffic over the past few days. i had removed the mechanical fan. and i noticed the temp getting above 90's and the electric fan kept kicking in. so the mechanical fan fixed that

Re: Any b5 owners have a spare mechanical clutch fan?

yea DJ my car does go slightly over 90 in +30 weather if i'm stuck in stop go on say deerfoot

i need to find time and just add an electrical fan kit in and put it on a switch somewhere mounted by the pedals or something
