6042000022 Viscous Fan Clutch Assembly for MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class S202
The 6042000022 fan clutch is presented as an aftermarket replacement reference for MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class S202. Quoting BZ01012-014 helps connect the product images, application notes and packing requirements.
The fan clutch allows controlled slip when extra airflow is not needed, then transmits more torque as temperature rises. This reduces the drawbacks of a permanently rigid fan drive.

Role in the Engine Cooling System
Thermal fan clutches are designed to engage progressively as cooling demand increases. Their response works together with the radiator, shroud, coolant circuit and belt-driven accessory system.
A clutch that remains fully engaged may create excessive noise and drag, while insufficient engagement can reduce radiator airflow at low speed. Verify coolant, radiator and shroud condition as well.
Application Verification Guide
Use 6042000022 together with MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class S202 model, engine and production data. Measure the overall height and check fan-side and drive-side mounting details before approval.
- Confirm the OE number and usable cross-references.
- Match vehicle model, engine, chassis and production period.
- Check drive-side thread or flange and rotation direction.
- Measure hub height, pilot diameter and fan bolt circle.
- Verify blade alignment and clearance inside the shroud.
Classic Vehicle Fitment Notes
Older MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class S202 vehicles may have replacement water pumps, converted fans or non-original hardware. Compare the installed thread, flange, bolt pattern and hub offset directly instead of assuming the current cooling-fan drive still matches the factory configuration.
Installation and Cooling-System Checks
Installation should be completed by a qualified technician. Follow the specified thread direction and torque procedure, inspect the fan and water-pump bearing, replace damaged hardware, and confirm that the blade rotates freely without contacting the radiator or shroud. Test the vehicle under the appropriate warm operating conditions after assembly.
Wholesale Inspection Scope
Pre-shipment review may document both mounting faces, fan-side pattern, hub depth, surface condition and protective packing.
Ordering Specification Notes
For controlled sourcing of MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class S202, place OE 6042000022, SKU BZ01012-014, dimensions, rotation information and packaging instructions on one specification sheet. Include close views of the drive connection and fan mounting face so visually similar but incompatible versions can be separated early.
Wholesale and Procurement Information
Quotation requests should identify 6042000022, BZ01012-014, volume and delivery country. Private-label options depend on quantity, artwork and production schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the safest way to confirm MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class S202 compatibility?
Combine OE 6042000022, engine or VIN catalogue data and direct comparison with the removed fan clutch.
Can fan imbalance damage the new clutch?
Yes. A cracked or distorted blade can create vibration and bearing load, so the fan assembly must be inspected.
Is the clutch normally rigid when cold?
Behavior varies by design and recent operation. Use the manufacturer’s diagnostic procedure rather than a single hand-spin judgment.
May I approve a sample before volume supply?
Sample review can be arranged subject to availability. Reference BZ01012-014 and define the inspection checklist.
Does the supplier accept custom labels?
Barcode, carton and customer-label options can be evaluated after quantity and artwork details are supplied.
