I have an 86 W126 420. The engine fan is really loud, especially in park or neutral. I am guessing that they have redesigned the fans over the years to make them quieter. Would it be possible to fit a fan from a newer model to mine to make it quieter? Thanks for any help.

Hey...well mine is only loud when it is not in gear. Like if the car is idling in Park or neutral, it is really noisy. I watched the fan, and it isn't damaged or shaking or anything. Does yours have a fan shroud? Mine doesn't...do you think that this may have something to do with the extra noise? Thanks
