Electromagnetic fan switch

Hi All. Can anyone tell me where the above is located on a 190E 2.6 Auto???

On the cylinder head - somewhere....

HI.

You don't have one. The 6 cylinder cars fan is engaged by a viscous fan clutch, controlled by a bimetallic strip, attached to the clutch, which reacts to air flow temperature.

Compared to the 4 cylinder cars they do let the engine temperature fluctuate a lot more.

i can confirm that on the 190e-1.8 and 2 litre engines,the fan switch is located on the front,right hand side of the cylinder head as i changed mine some time back.

not sure about 2.6 litre,6 cylinder engines.

2.6 has a viscous clutch.

Cheers.

Many thanks all. Indeed it is a viscous coupling.
