CLK55 and CLS55
W208 CLK55 Viscous fan
HI,
I had my Viscous fan changed on my CLK55, and I think its been installed the wrong way. Can anyone confirm which way the fan blades should be pointed or even show a photo of it.
I just think its running hotter than it did before the fan was changed.

Im not sure you can install it backwards but anything is possible. Even the routing of the drive belt could spin it backwards. With the car running, you should feel a suction at the grill area. If you feel air blowing at you thats a problem. The blades should be pointed the same direction as the AC pusher fan in front of the radiator.
