What year is your car? I thought all W210 used electric fan... only one
electric fan.
Its a 1998 e32O
Its actually a dual fan unit where one has an electric motor and the second
fan is driven from that one with a belt which is what failed

Typical MB engineering. Complication for the sake of complication. You
get the expense of an electric fan and attendant wiring & sensors AND
the maintenance headaches of a rubber belt drive. Fabulous design.

Yes it is that engineering that makes my 26 yr old 300SD such a
fabulous car. Its ahead of its day even now compared with jap crap and
such. I wasn't aware that changing a fan belt would cause "a
maintenenance headache". Maybe for the mechanically inept...
