I used the flex fan for 5 years with no problems. However, I would recommend
that they are replaced every so often, especially if the car is run at high
rpm. I had mine explode and shoot a blade through the upper radiator hose. I
have now gone to an electric fan. It has been working well for the last 10
years.
