Product Details

The Gates Engine Cooling Fan Module line is built for applications where the fan control circuit regulates cooling fan speed instead of running the fan at a fixed output. On select Mercedes-Benz E-Class models, this module helps maintain consistent engine temperature by managing electric fan operation based on system demand. Gates FCM124 cross-references Bosch 0255453232 for the same application.
