hi dears, my car is skoda octavia 2003 automatic, my radiator fan begins to be replaced it works in hard manner also makes a sound and vibration when starts, so i have to change it, the original one is not sold in my country (VDO) so i have another trademarks such as ( febi, miele , wastrol ) which one do you advice me to install ???

34 views and no one reply where are youuuuuuuuu ?

I can't say which of the 4 is best, but Febi and Miele are well-known brands, and VAG OEM suppliers, so either should be ok.

You don't say which engine you have.

The fans used in your car will be different from the fans used in UK cars which are made by AEG. Make sure you get fans designed for 'warm climates'. IIRC, the high speed is 250W for 'warm climates' instead of 100W which is standard. The high performance fans used for towing are made by TEMIC, so my guess is that they make the 'warm climate' ones too.

A common cause of failure is the thermo-switch or fan controller. Does your fan(s) run at both low speed and high speed?

yes sir it runs on both speed but in the fast speed it makes a sound and also vibrates the steering wheel and whole body of car, so i think febi is most reliable than miele , is n't it ?

i prefer febi as it is much better than miele

Both Miele (part of GEC) and Febi Bilstein both make reasonable quality aftermarket parts. As I have no experience of the high performance fans made by these companies, I can't say which would be more reliable.

Not really. We don't see the high power fans made by Miele or Febi. We would usually use OEM. The only aftermarket one I've seen is Hella.
