thomo8568 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi Getting a odd rattle noise from front of engine. Can anyone help? It's not a constant noise and there more when car is cold. Don't think it's the fanbelt pulley as changed this for a whiffbits one just over a year ago, and cars done less than 2kmiles since. I think it could be comming from the fanbelt pully arm but not 100% sure Have taken the fan belt off and noise goes away but as the noise isn't always there it's hard to know if its helped or not? http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z364/Thomo8568/D9E6C040-63A2-4F34-913E-9B84E4437DAF-284-00000024153866E4.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sounds like the fan may be slightly catching the shroud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomo8568 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Maybe. Will have a go at stopping the fan and see if noise is still there or not. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Stopping the fan? Better off just removing the shroud mate. Only way to stop the fan is to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Take the aux belt off and see if the noise stops, if it does then you know its something linked by the belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The noise goes away. That's why I think the viscous fan is catching the shroud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Trust me to skim through the first post Could be the fan loose on the viscous coupling Edited February 15, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
