Mercedes Fan Clutch - Sachs 1132000122

Product Information

An engine cooling fan clutch is a thermostatic device that controls the operation of the engine’s cooling fan based on temperature. It engages or disengages the fan depending on engine heat and air conditioning demand, reducing unnecessary drag on the engine when full cooling isn’t required. This helps improve fuel efficiency, reduce noise, and maintain proper engine temperature.

• Engine overheating, if the clutch fails to engage the fan when extra cooling is needed.
• Excessive fan noise (“roaring” sound), if the clutch is stuck engaged and the fan runs at full speed all the time.

About Sachs

ZF Sachs AG, also known as Fichtel & Sachs was founded in Schweinfurt in 1895 and was a well-known German family business. At its last point as an independent company, the company name was Fichtel & Sachs AG. In 1997, the automotive supplier was taken over by Mannesmann and renamed Mannesmann Sachs AG. As of 2001, Sachs belonged to ZF Friedrichshafen as a subsidiary company ZF Sachs AG. In 2011, ZF Sachs, like other Group subsidiaries, was legally merged with ZF Friedrichshafen AG and the independent business units integrated into the ZF divisions. Sachs has since become a brand of ZF Friedrichshafen AG.
