Noisy Radiator Fan?! :(

[Emeye]

Hi, I did do a search first but found nothing....

Just recently I think my Radiator Fan is running very noisy - wondering if it's to do with the hot weather, but I don't remember hearing it last year.

I can here it in the car with the radio off at lower speed - and outside the car it makes a real racket!

It stops pretty soon after stopping the engine so don't think the car is running hot - the temp gauge is always in the middle.

Is this normal? Is it a common fault?

Cheers - Oh the car is 08 57 plate so still under warranty.

May well be the hot weather. There are several posts here and the other site, search for fans or noisey fans.

Cheers - I found a couple of threads eventually, I was searching for noisy - thinking I'll be taking it to the local stealer as they are walking distance from work.

Cheers

have a read of this particularly Teutonic_tamers response,  ignore all of the stuff regarding the coolant part as that was a separate issue (leaking seal)

Cheers for the feedback.

I dropped it into the stealers on Friday and they tell me I need 2 new fans - but one of them is on factory order. Apparently it's safe to drive though - and I think they may have reset something because the fans seem to be working properly at the moment.... 

I asked the service receptionist if it was a common problem - she said it used to be, but not recently.

I thought I had this issue. It seemed to have started after the revo trial. I put up with up with this for months. Went in for 4th year work, no fault found. Mysteriously the fault cleared and hasn't come back.
