Hi,

I have just had a major service and pointed out that the fan motor for the main radiator fan seemed to be making a noise. It was diagnosed as likely to be the motor bearing which cannot be repaired according to the MB dealer. This would need to be replaced at a cost of £700 incl labour at some point in the future when it stopped worked completely.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to who might be able to fix it without replacing it. I have tried the breakers yards listed on here already and no-one seems to have this part.

Any help greatfully received.

Thanks

Hi
If you look on Ebay UK there is a company selling a repair kit of motor & belt for 259 pounds!!
The dealers just sell it complete for a lot more. I have the same problem on my S280 & just removed the complete unit ( 15 min job) & sprayed plenty of WD40 into shaft area of motor. Probably only a temp fix but has worked a treat for 7 days!!

Hi db1,

I have a similar issue with my car. Did you resolve your issue? what did you have done and what was the cost?

Thanks
