How about a visco coupled Fan? That one will turn in action when the visco heats up. Its driven by the timing belt.

I have one in my ford transit fan. One time the bearing of the visco blocked and the difference in ''free' spinning on visco and full spinning with blocked bearing were very big. With full spinning the van of me drove 10km at top slower as with good working fan.
