Fan Clutch 4 Hole (Arrowhead) (BMW 3 Series E30 / E36) is a cooling system component designed for BMW 3 Series models E30 and E36. This fan clutch regulates the operation of the engine cooling fan by engaging and disengaging based on engine temperature, helping maintain optimal engine performance and preventing overheating.
The fan clutch mounts directly to the engine’s water pump or pulley and uses a 4-hole mounting pattern, matching exactly with the fan blade assembly it controls. Its function is to transfer engine heat signals to the fan, allowing it to spin faster when more cooling is needed and reduce speed at lower temperatures to save energy and reduce noise.
When replacing this fan clutch, confirm that your vehicle’s cooling fan system uses a 4-hole design as specified by the “Arrowhead” designation, ensuring compatibility with both E30 and E36 BMW 3 Series models. Comparing the mounting pattern and physical shape of your old fan clutch with this unit will help verify a proper match.
