Cooling fan intermittently sticking

[TheFixer]

So I'm out driving hard on the Tail of the dragon last weekend and my car gets overheated. Immediately goes into limp mode..... in a turn uphill with no where to pull over, obviously...... Thankfully I could roll backwards into a turn off.

Turns out my fan was seizing up and not enough air flow to keep cool in the twisties. Once cooled down I was able to safely drive through the tail.... very gingerly. Lol

Anyway, I know i need a fan. Obviously there is new oe stuff. Is there any good aftermarket options? I couldn't find any.

Nothing worth buying but OE.

Bought the VDO fan from fcpeuro and it failed the next day, lead me on a chase because I was like "it can't be a brand new fan" but it was. Then, I bought an SKP fan from rockauto and that kept getting stuck/buzzing every week for some reason.

Noted. I'll be buying an 800 dollar fan then.
