Noisy Fans?

[johno1404]

Any one had this problem and know what the problem is?

It seems when i start my car from cold the fans cut in and make a really loud like buzzing noise. Sounds like the bearings have gone in the fans at the front but aint really to sure. The noise is definatly the fans because i can switch the car straight off and then on again and it will stop after abouy 5 seconds

If its the same that happened to mine, the cooling fan bearings were knackered, got worse over time and ended up being £300 to get a new one.

Yer seems to be when i start it it but then again its cold all the time now aint it. My old mans a mechanic and seems to think its the bearings in the fans.

How can i tell if its the secondary water pump?

Had this on mine when i bought it. sounded rattly. new secondary water pump, job done
