cormjah 0 Posted December 28, 2006 My h plate valver has just developed a nasty fault. when the cooling fan kicks in after i've stopped there's really bad vibration. the fan doesn't sound too good at all, a bit grindy. at worst the whole car was throbbing after the ignition was turned off, v worring! do i need to replace the whole fan or is it a case of replacing bearings? it's coming up to 140k. any suggestions?

Andy T 0 Posted December 28, 2006 When this happened on my G60 it was due dry/worn bearings. I took it off and dripped some engine oil down the shaft into the bearings, left it for a while then put a permanent 12volts across it for five minutes, then re-oiled, worked perfectly quietly after that for years. Ideally you should strip it and clean/grease the bearings, not sure if it can be done though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
