Hi there,

My fan clutch has died ... at least it has failed locked up.
The prices I have from two local agents is way over the top, $375 to $470 USD.
I can see via a few US sites the following prices and brands: $52 Hayden, $116 4-SEASONS, $170 NPW.

Can anyone recommend any particular one or another, or even assist in getting one to me way down here in New Zealand? (some sites don't seem to export).

Cheers, Luke

 

Don't buy hayden. Try getting a used OEM.

 

I'd rather buy new than used. Have you had a bad experience with a Hayden unit?

Oh, and I didn't mean to specifically ask only those in the US for help, anyone that can - it would be appreciated.

 

My Hayden model # 2656 has been on for 50,000 plus miles & has had no problem. It does seem to make a bit more air movement noise, but only a slight difference.

 

hello, why dont you convert to electric, just a thought

 

That's seriously on my mind, still... two fans plus a controller and the frigging around to get it all fitted will probably end up more than a straight replacement.

 

Hayden clutch I bought was too stiff resulting in loud fan noise.

I bought a used OEM clutch for $30 from a junkyard. Works perfect.

LS400 has back-up electric fans that come on when coolant gets hot enough.
