What this part is
The PATRON PFC0003 fan viscous clutch is a viscous clutch without fan and without belt pulley that controls the operation of the cooling fan depending on temperature. Diameter 138 mm. Version produced by BEHR. It is supplied without a fan, so the old fan and fasteners are usually transferred from the removed part.
The part is used on Audi A4 B5 (8D2) with 1.6 and 1.8 engines, VW Passat B5 (3B2) 1.6 and 1.8, including Syncro/4motion, as well as on Skoda Superb I (3U4) 1.8 T and 1.9 TDI. There are 102 fitment lines in the catalog in total, so before ordering check the number and diameter against your car. Note that the pulley and fan are not included — they must be transferred from the old clutch or purchased separately.

How to choose and what to check
Among the alternatives are Stellox 3000401SX, Febi 17798, JP 1114900600, NRF 49566, BGA VF9600 and FAG 568350CH75AA — when choosing, check the 138 mm diameter, whether a pulley is present and the BEHR version. It is best to check compatibility by VIN or the exact part number, not only by model and year. The clutch is replaced in case of engine overheating, noise or fan seizure, as well as play and silicone fluid leaks.
