| djdinaz Extreme Veteran Date registered: Jun 2007 Location: Arizona Vehicle(s): 03 G55 Posts: 439  | RE: el aux fan in 2002 G500 Here's the WIS for removing them. Once you get them out, you'll see that the small motors are stamped together with no intention of ever being serviced. The G-specific aux fans (A0015001593) are ridiculously overpriced ($428 to $575 each), but, they're exact same size and rating as those found on the CLK (RH A0015001393, LH A0015001293) ($189 to $254). The RH CLK fans have a longer pigtail connector than the LH. I picked up a pair of RH fans off of eBay for under 300, cut the pigtails to the length of the G fans, soldered on the G connector, and they've been fine ever since.

| 4x4abc Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: La Paz, Baja California, Mexico Vehicle(s): 02 G500 | Re: el aux fan in 2002 G500 OK, got the noisy fan out what a frustrating job! in German: "Für einen, der Vater und Mutter erschlagen hat." "for someone who killed mom and dad" not at all as described in the WIS you have be very creative to get the fan out - unless you want to do major surgery drowned the motor in oil for an hour then spun it - first slow then faster I might get a few more weeks of life out of it (job hell.jpg) (fan in bucket.jpg) Attachments ---------------- job hell.jpg (396KB - 0 downloads) fan in bucket.jpg (316KB - 0 downloads) | |

| 4x4abc Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: La Paz, Baja California, Mexico Vehicle(s): 02 G500 | Re: el aux fan in 2002 G500 So, an update. The oil bath bought me some considerable time - 3 months! just last week the noise came back had the new fan sitting in the garage - ready to go in bought it on Amazon for $54 even thought the site states that it would not fit the G500, I had information saying otherwise put it in today - fits perfectly one of the fan blades carries a balance weight - cool detail used the plug from the old unit since the new plug was a little too "Chinese" cable was a bit long, but longer is always better than too short no part numbers in the cast as the original, for the price I could care less runs quieter than the original (amazon.jpg) (old-new.jpg) (part number.jpg) (no part number.jpg) (no fit.jpg) (perfect fit.jpg) Attachments ---------------- amazon.jpg (105KB - 0 downloads) old-new.jpg (389KB - 0 downloads) part number.jpg (184KB - 0 downloads) no part number.jpg (188KB - 0 downloads) no fit.jpg (197KB - 0 downloads) perfect fit.jpg (233KB - 0 downloads) | |
