bravo,its very kind of u to do the test,save the most of our time,tq,tq,tq


Just nice that the workshop has the tool that can test and I also a bit free la. Most important to confirm if there is any long term effect before more bros changing theirs.

since the fan now spln lighter with 6 blades,can u c or feel that the 6 blades fan spln faster then the ori fan.

The ori 9 blade fan compared to the MB fan is slightly wider in diameter and the Rexy blades wider and looks like having higher pitch. So even if use 9 blade MB fan should still be lighter than Rexy. Have so far covered more than 5000km without any sign of overheating.
But careful when using OEM clutch and not ori MB.

The ori MB is normally by Behr. Costs RM3xx. Ori MB costs RM6xx. Yours very cheap and ??????
Both my MB workshops advise against the cheap one and suggest Behr. Maybe you can search your brand on the net and get more info on the maker. I can't find it in my search. Tried also Behr and found it.

Hi Bro,

I has installed the Vemo clutch couple with the 9blades original rexton fan since yesterday, i notice it is lighter compare to the original stock viscous clutch ofcause, it reduce strong wind blowing from the fan, and it is much quiet compare to the stock clutch. But! i don't get any increase of HP, or better performance. Or maybe can i claim my car is always on the better performance, this is why i don't feel the slighly changed. hahaha
I always cafeful on the OEM parts, because i still keep my stock clutch with me.

If you feel your car lighter after the change it means more power going to the wheels as less is use to spin the fan and make noise.
BTW is it worth spending your RM220?
Suggest you compare the ori 9 blade fan with MB 9 or 6 blade if can get one. Quite sure you car will improve somemore.

Bro Wirahijau installed the last set of Recond MB Fan Clutch with 6 Blades Fan. Left with MB Recond 9 Blades Fan only now. Perhaps can try to find from other MB workshop, perhaps they could have stock as all new MB is using 9 Blades Fan, only we are hunting for 6 blades fan. hahahhaa

Mine feel like the whole car lighter and better pickup. Like a small remap maybe. Hehehe
Also now no more sudden cutoff of aircon compressor and check engine light on and scanner shows coolant temperature fault and temp gauge dropping dead.
Thank you for the something to try. I think I know what it is and look forward to same
