It's either stones in the fan housing, or loose bolts that hold the front fan housing to the case; probably the latter. This means that you get to pull the exhaust off again and split the fan housing and pull the fan off. It will be obvious by then. Sorry. Tap the holes deeper, use longer bolts, lock washers, and Loctite. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
