There is another method of securing the fan that was on my 603 diesel that might be present on yours:
On or near the top of the water pump housing behind the pulley are a couple of ribs cast into the housing. Using these as a stop, a piece of rod stock about 3/16” in diameter, bent into a short “L” shape with the bottom end of the “L” being maybe 1/2” long or slightly longer, is placed up against one of these ribs and the end of the rod going into a hole in the back of the pulley or flange. Hope that makes sense *and* it’s something that’s on your car. -D > On Mar 22, 2018, at 6:33 AM, Max Dillon via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > This works on both of my 124 diesel engines (OM603 & OM606).
