The engine cooling fan on the motor that came with my car has several broken fins/blades. Looking for a replacement i can only seem to find used part? Does no one produce oem style or aftermarket replacements for this? Is used my only option?
Sorry if this has been covered. Did not find anything in the search. |

Not enough money in it to make new fans IMHO. Used ones are available, often for a reasonable amount of money. Just make sure not to get the "lightweight racing fan", because you already have one of those--it's a fan with blades broken off.

People actually sell them like this. |

Not to name names or anything, but an ebay search might turn up a certain business selling "lightweight racing fans" that are just normal fans with a blade or two broken off here and there. I suppose they get more money for those than if they more truthfully listed them as "partly functional fans, missing some blades". --DD |
