OE 1042001528 — Fan Support for Mercedes-Benz

Aftermarket fan support comes from tooling houses that hold the original drawings or licensed equivalents. KingMay sources from vetted factories and inspects each batch; the manufacturer name is available on request where your market requires origin documentation.

Incoming batches pass a dimensional check, a material look-up against the cooling system specification, and a visual inspection for finish defects. Critical dimensions are measured per carton and the photographs are archived against the order number.

Stock references leave Guangzhou within 7 working days. If 1042001528 needs a production run, allow 25-35 days depending on quantity and surface treatment. The schedule is confirmed in writing when the order is placed.

A supersession happens when the maker revises a fan support and issues a new tail number. The revision normally changes a small physical detail rather than the fit. Where we know a supersession chain for 1042001528 we list the current reference; ask our desk for written confirmation before a large order.

Treat it as a wear item: inspect every 20,000-30,000 km and replace at the first sign of leakage, noise or performance loss. Real service life swings widely with climate, road surface and duty cycle, so mileage on its own is a weak indicator.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.
