Hi,
My 98 Passat 1.8 has a strange friction type noise coming from the cooling fan upon startup of engine. This lasts for approx 1-2 minutes, and then once all warm and running dissapears. It can occasionaly come back during driving but generally is fine after that.
I wonder if there is some form of lubricant that I could try to put on this to see if it remedys the sound. It really does sound like it need some lube, that type of sound anyhow.
Has anyone else come across this problem or would know what to do to fix it. All else around that area seems to be fine. Car done 97,000 now.
Thanks,
