Hi all, Someone over on MBShop forum just said they successfully used an M103 fan clutch (which is cheap & easily available) on to an OM603 (which uses a more expensive clutch). I never even thought of this before. Anyone know what the functional difference is between the two, if any? Read for yourself here (near the end):

I wonder how that affects airflow, noise, etc, etc... :-) -- Dave M. Boise, ID 1994 E500 - 95kmi (Q-ship) 1987 300D - 261kmi (Sportline)
