(T) Radiator Cooling Fan Noise

I have a Punto Mk2 and recently it began making an intermittent noise, I have noted when this happens and discovered it is when the electric cooling fan is working. I assume it is dry bearings and wondered if there is anything I can do to lubricate them or failing that where is the best place to purchase a replacement part?

Thanks

can get a replacement fan from www.shop4parts.co.uk

To lubricate it try good old WD40 or some spray white grease

Thanks Mdeko I was a bit worried about the WD40 because I have heard it dries out the bearings and may be good in the short term but cause more problems later - any thoughts/guide - also what is white grease and where would I get it? Cheers

I got a can of white spray grease from maplins. WD40 is a short term solution, white grease will last longer.

Thanks Mdeko

I'd get a new rad fan asap.

My rad fan started making a funny noise a while ago, then today it just stopped working all together. Luckily I have a temp gauge, so when I saw it rise to 3/4 I just stopped, switched the engine off and let it cool.

If it does totally pack in and you end up overheating.. it'll end up being a much bigger bill

Thanks MattMk1 where did you get your replacement from and roughly how much was it please?

i'm letting the garage handle it, seen as it's MOT time anyway and i can't be bothered with rotten nuts/screws/fiats.

but shop4parts will have what you are looking for - a mk1 fan was about £60.
