Default Where do I buy a radiator fan?

My wife's 2000 Beetle, 1.8l, needs a radiator fan due to the worn out blades (small pieces have chipped off). Dealership is asking $337 for a new one. The issue is my wife's car has a 4 wire connector, retail stores: Napa, Oreilly's, have a fan that they claim fits, however it is a 3 wire connector, very different. I checked a few online sites: autopartswarehouse,germanautoparts, the pictures also show a 3 wire connector. Any ideas who might carry the correct fan, other than the dealership?

Thanks. Dan

I got the fan for my '99 off of germanautoparts.com. Didn't think there was a difference in fans like that.

I'd call german auto parts and ask them what they can do. They're awesome at that stuff.

Does anyone sell just the fan blades. The motor on mine is fine but the blades got bent and rub.

germanautoparts.com sells individual fans, separate passenger and drivers side.
