Post by: willyboy on 12 September 2009, 21:15:55
After switching off my Elite V6 the fan carries on running as normal but something is clicking as it spins, now did have workies done on cam belt etc other week is there anything to look for that maybe touching the fan causing the clicking sound its deffo something catching it not a bearing noise its quite a light weight clicking sound .... :-[

Bill are either of the front fans catching their covers? is the air intake catching the fan? sounds like it is the two front fans

If Its not the covers then you may have disturbed a cable tie or something similar :-/ :).

This is very close to the fans...may have come loose from the airbox end... :question

Total swerve ball with this. My car had a screenwasher pipe rubbing agains one of the air con fans. I had to replace it as it wore through. Maybe worth a look

Air intake duct catching....I bet somebody has pulled the air filter housing out to do the cambelt and not put it back properly

Mmmmm not sure what it was but now disappeared (the clicking)
All I did was remove the fr grill picked a few bits of junk out leaves small twig even, then blasted in all the corners through the fans etc with one of those air blaster cans (not very potent but might have done the trick) I use on my pc for blasting out dust from fans/crevices /etc..
Tried it since  no noise  :y
