Hi guys. My rad fan sounds like a cement mixer when it kicks in, so I am assuming that the motor bearings are kaput. I cannot find anything on the wicki that helps so:
1) Is the motor integral to the fan on our vans or is it separate? If it is separate, is there another rad motor that I can get to replace it as I cannot track one down for my van?
2) If it is integral, is there an alternative fan and motor to replace it? I am guessing it should be one that fits other vehicles in the VW range, or maybe not.
Cheers.

this bloke has 8!

Cheers James. That's really helpful. Is there a new option out there as an alternative to a used one?

Update. I was about to replace the fan and guess what. The cooling fan has been running smoothly again for the past few weeks. These vans do keep you wound up!

It'll get noisy again..best get one in reserve
you have been warned by the van!

I've already checked out what I need just in case. Cheers Kev.
