Grab the air outlets at each side of the fan housing and see if you can move the fan housing independently of the engine. If so, the little screws that attach it to the case have come loose and are rattling against the fan. You MUST fix this, or the fan will be destroyed. Otherwise look for something loose. The ends of the heat shield on top of the OEM muffler are common rattle sources. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
