323i radiator clutch fan

[Vic]

Hey Guys

Wanting to know if there is a reliable tried and test brand for the clutch fan? Unsure which to purchase as there's a few available and as I'm replacing for the first time, don't want to spend more than I need too nor buy a poor quality part.

Appreciate any advice!

No. Because the trick is that they need to be stored upright, not laying down. Because that ruins them, before they are even used. So get an new one, not old stock. Use a Febi or something, not Meyle.

Thanks Uwbuurman, will go with a Febi, funnily enough the existing is a Meyle, bearings failed

Or Sachs which used to be OEM but I have no idea if these are still being produced

Have ordered the Febi, will keep in mind a Sachs for future reference.

Had a high revs issue on my 323i, and figured out the clutch was constantly engaged

Thanks for the input guys
