You've got mail! ;)



Oh, BTW, I KNOW that fan is working now, cause I can HEAR it!



I never heard a ROAR from that car like that before.



Now, I'm betting, because it's a cheap Chinese knock-off, that it probably locks up harder than a Genuine Toyota would, but I'll tell you what:



I KNOW the fan is kicking on!



I drove it this AM, and as I was driving on the highway I could hear it kick in and then kick off.



Also, the car is running about a notch cooler on the gauge and rarely goes up more than one notch from normal.



This is a GOOD thing! ;)


Got the mail, already responded.

The roar comes from the fan blades. I bet it was the same when it was new but it's been weak for so long that the change is dramatic. Keep cool!

Man, it is LOUD!

And, uh, DAMN!!!!

Generally speaking ad without reading the full story: A fan roars when somthing disturbs the airflow too near the fan blades. That may be the fan housing, fan supports, radiator, grille, fan belt, etc.
