Rad Fan
« on: 25 October 2005, 22:15 »
Just noticed that my rad fan is making a terrible noise, kind of clatterring and grinding.

Is it likely fixable?  If not what other cars have the same fan as my GTI 8v, I understand other vws and Audis all use the same fan.

I'm looking for the cheapest option.

Mine's doing the same...it's the bearings inside.. :sad:

Check what connector your fan has got on the back because mine is a 2 pin job and it's turning out to be a nightmare trying to find a replacement  :cry:  If yours is a 3 pin one then your laughing!!   :angry::laugh:

Daz, why not upgrade to a 2 speed fan loom (3 pin plug) loads of Dubs in the scrappy come with it, all you do is fit a 2 speed radiator temp sensor then unplug the connector near the battery & swap em over :)
