Radiator Fan Noise?

Feb 09, 2004 2 Replies

Sounds like an extra vibration almost when the car is in the neighborhood of about 2500-3000 RPMs, believe it's coming from the radiator fan. Checking the fan I find no lose parts, the car isn't overheating, just an annoying sound. Anyone have any ideas?



thanks very much, Justin

Take the fan off and test drive without it. The car won't overheat without the fan unless you get stuck in traffic.

Maybe that's how fast the electric fan turns and it has a slight imbalance in the fan blades. When the engine's rpm's are in phase with the electric fan, it starts shaking?

Just a guess.
