All I could see for the 190s is the all electric fan, no clutch
there at all.
Have been having slightly higher then normal temps in the summer
ever since I did a cooling system flush and installed a new
thermostat (up to 100 at first and 110 now in Fl with AC at high
speeds or around town with heavy traffic). My thought actually
was to try a new thermostat since that is the most likely suspect
(not opening far enough?). It was brand new from Rusty so I put
less of an emphases on that and thought more of the fan clutch
especially since it has been getting worse in the past year or
more. Wish I hadn't thrown away the old thermo so I could put it
in now.
Then again it could have been some crud that got into the
radiator from the engine during the flush.
The whole idea with the electric clutch is just that it's a
neat-o cool thing to have on an engine ( well in my confused mind
anyway, no accounting for tastes is there). That said I do have a
new thermo and clutch on the way but still am in want with the
electric clutch thing. :-)

Yes, the 4cyl cars were the only ones to have the
electromechanical fan
clutch (starting with the 190E 2.3 & 190D 2.2 here in the US.).
Just buy a new fan clutch for your OM617, instead of trying to
re-engineer the car & be done with it....Are you currently having
cooling issues?
