This kit contains the following new parts:

The bearing in this pulley wears out at 80,000 to 120,000 miles and can cause rumbling sounds while the engine is running. A good time to plan to replace or at least inspect this is when you change the V-belts.

This fits all Mercedes V8 engines listed in the title from 1981 to 1991 including the sedans, the SL and SEC models. I compare fan clutches to shock absorbers. They wear out slowly over time and you don't feel or see the difference until you actually replace it with new. 

This is a high-quality ACM aftermarket part. The fan runs smooth and air movement is very strong.

If your engine is taking too long to heat up or is constantly running "hot" it is probably time to replace the thermostat. Kent explains in the video below some other parts you should consider replacing at the same time.
