HELP ME! theres squeeking sound from the cooling fan. what should i do? and how?

[kang]

Is it a fan belt squeak?

Probably the fan belt sensor about to give up the ghost...

That little bugger can be rehabilitated. I think some JB weld and a new bushing did it. Beats $60.

To be safe, check the fan for wobble - loosen the belts and see if you can wiggle it. It could be the fan hub.

hi kang, nope its not the belt, it sound like metal to metal screeching. and theres a thing i remember regarding cooling fan repair in the forum. because when i touch the fan theres movement. so what should i do or repair the parts or replace it? :

Replace it. Search for part #964 106 051 30. The fan bolts to that hub/bearing. It is probably very tight, but with a pulley tool, sledge hammer, wood block and a few nickels (to protect the 12-point hole on the alternator shaft), you can separate them.

There is a 993 DIY on fan/alteranator removal webpage - http://p-car.com/diy/alternator/alternator.html that gives some good info on how to get most of the way there.

ok i try it out thanks for the info colo
