Bro RX & Bro BK,

Perhaps OEM Vemo or 9 Blades Fan did not make as much difference in performance improvement comparing to Rex Original condition. Since I have already changed mine with Recond MB Fan Clutch and 6 Blades, why not come down to Ipoh to test drive mine and enjoy some good food at the same time. I don't mind to be the tour guide. Ipoh the center point between KL and PG, so quite convenient for both.

Good idea then can test also mine. I can try to find some more 6 blade MB fan from my other MB repairer if any bro interested. But must belanjar makan la

Easy for KL bros to test drive my Rexy in KL this weekend ma. Next week Penang bros can test in Ipoh and then if happy can change clutch and maybe also 6 blade MB fan if can get. Actually wanted to drive my old Merc but again kachau 2 days ago. Power steering hose leaking. After change still no confidence to drive it long distance. Maybe just my excuse to enjoy my Rexy hehehe

Bro the faster the fan turn the more noise it makes. Read somewhere that the power to drive a fan increases by the cube of the speed. Any engineer bro can confirm this?
As fan is now slower the power needed to drive it is reduced substantially and more power can be release to drive the car. This is the best improvement for the small amount of money that one can buy for your Rexy. Superb value and every Rexy should at least have their fan clutch replaced. Save diesel reduce noise more power to the wheels more relax cruising less strain on the engine

Bro BK4t9 just changed to Recond MB Coupling Fan Clutch with 9 blades Fan. Let's wait for his feedback as I have too little drive experience with his Rexton II to share the difference.

Rexton II is so much more refined and comfortable than Rexton I. Can feel the comfortable but yet solid suspension. Much quieter, better sound proofing and door insulation. The drive and acceleration is so much more smoother and quiet.

Just found that suspecting Bro BK4tf's ATF Oil may not be using the right grade and it is less than minimum level. Surprisingly that the car has been under SC care for all servicing and did major service at 40k mileage. SC can't be using the wrong grade of ATF Oil or don't have the right tool to measure the ATF Oil level, right?
