Posts: 23 Thanks: 1 Trader Rating: 0  | Radiator Fan Question! Hi everyone, I was just wondering if traveling at high speeds or strong gusts of wind can cause the radiator fan to spin super quick. I believe the bearing are on their way as it makes a few nasty noises... Cheers

Posts: 23 Thanks: 1 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Radiator Fan Question! I aint no mechanic but it all seems OK. Ill just have to wait and see. Im getting a new fan and motor anyway because the bearings are clearly knackered and hopefully *crossed fingers* the noise will dissappear...if not then back to the drawing board How would the heat shield generate a noise? Thanks
