S600 Fan Clutch Video

Sorry video is rotated i couldnt flip it!
Fan Clutch looks like beeing seized as it does not disengage when the engine is cold and i have frequent overheating in traffic.
I will be replacing it..have a few options: 100$ chinese aftermarket. 200$ meyle. 450$ sachs. Might be choosing the inexpensive one. im willing to risk having to replace it later
Respectful comments are welcome!

I was faced with buying a high priced clutch.I came out better buying a electric fan,and controller.It also helped with power.

Seems that fan clutch has indeed failed.
It’s certainly not, though, a contributing factor to your “frequent overheating in traffic.”
