Boxster Front fan running loud
Hi,
I hope you can help. I have a 2004 (986) standard Boxster. The last couple of days There is a loud noise when the air conditioning is on. Seems way more loud than usual - especially at idle (probably because of less engine/road noise). It "seems" to change with engine revs. I think the issue is that the fan behing the front bumber is coming on when i turn the air con on. The fan seems to be on anytime the a/c is on. Is this normal. It just seems very loud and I dont think it was there a few days ago. The fan is the right hand one (if sitting in the driving seat). I looked at the radiator through the vents in the bumper and there seems to be a layer of dust on the radiator - though not too much. Could this be the issue? How do I clean the dust from the radiator (preferably without having to remove the bumper)? I am not sure why this noise changes with engine revs. Thanks TS |

I believe both fans should be on anytime the a/c is on. The speed of the fans however is dependent on the temp however.

Thanks healthservices.
I imply from your reply that the fan seep is variable. I just started my Boxster from cold - and a reasonably cool dat (15C) and the fans were still loud - is it possible ther are stich running at full speed - hence the noise? Is there something that regulates the speed? How could I check this? Regards TS |
