OEM-spec radiator cooling fan assembly for the Mercedes-Benz A-Class W176 (2012–2018). Complete module with electric fan motor, blade and shroud to restore factory airflow across the radiator and A/C condenser. Direct bolt-in replacement for weak, noisy or non-operational fans.
What this is / isn’t:
-
Included: 1× complete cooling fan assembly
Key Features:
-
OE Geometry & Airflow: Shroud is profiled to pull air evenly through radiator and condenser for consistent engine temps and strong A/C performance.
-
High-Efficiency Motor: Matches Mercedes current-draw and speed mapping for correct ECU control.
-
Balanced, Low-Noise Blade: Reduced vibration for quiet operation and longer bearing life.
-
Plug-and-Play Connector: Fits the factory harness—no splicing.
-
Durable Build: Heat-resistant composite shroud and sealed motor bearings for longevity.
Compatibility:
-
A-Class (W176) — 2012–2018 (A180 / A200 / A220 / A250 / A45 AMG; petrol & diesel variants)
-
Shares architecture with some CLA (C117) and GLA (X156) engines; confirm by VIN or OE number before purchase.
Not for W177/V177 (2019-on).
Typical OE Reference Families (guide only):
-
A176-906-…, A246-906-…, A117-906-… (varies by engine/trim/supplier)
Order by the exact part number stamped on your original fan, or verify via VIN.
When to Replace:
-
Overheating at idle/with A/C on
-
Fan doesn’t engage or runs at full speed constantly
-
Excessive noise, wobble, or blade cracks
-
Stored cooling-fan electrical fault codes
Installation Notes (Pro Tips):
-
Disconnect the battery before removal.
-
Support the radiator pack; unclip the old shroud carefully to avoid fin damage.
-
Transfer any rubber grommets/air seals from the old unit.
-
Inspect the electrical connector for heat damage or corrosion.
-
After install, warm the engine and verify fan staging and A/C operation.
What’s Included / Not Included:
-
✅ Radiator fan assembly (motor + blade + shroud)
-
❌ Control module (if separate), radiator, condenser, hardware, wiring
Q&A
Q1: Is coding required? No—this is a hardware swap. The ECU controls fan speeds automatically.
Q2: Will this fit my CLA/GLA? Some do, but only if the OE number matches. Check your VIN or the label on the old fan.
Q3: Can I replace just the motor? This listing is for the complete assembly. Replacing the full unit is recommended to ensure balance and bearing integrity.
Q4: What if the new fan still doesn’t run? Check fuses/relays, the cooling fan control module (if separate), and scan for DTCs.
