well, i found out what the problem with the radiator fan was. It was because when the dealer installed my new bst cable, they forgot to plug the AC pressure switchback in, but as of today (possibly last night) there is a very loud clicking that is inaudible at idle, but starts as the revs goes up, and really kicks in at ~ 3000 rpm and gets louder and faster with mroe rpm's. It sounds to be coming from he left side of the engine (when lookng at the front of the car, the pulley side of the engine).
I love my car, but my mom is probably about to pee herself and sell my car is something else goes wrong with it, as the car is quickly comming very expensive.
also, you can hear it on a cold start if you lay on the ground with your head halfway under the car, sounds like metal rolling around inside a metal can..
also, one other thing, ive been told its a clutch release bearing, but im not too sure, whever i turn on the engine (cold) i have this irritating goose like squeak, tat goes away when its warm, except upon clutch release. If its a more agressive start (liek a hill start) i get a very loud goose squak. Also, when free reving the engine at start up, (with clutch in, or in neutral and completely out) it squeaks at~3500 rpm, and is more noticible when the engine is falling in rpm's.
Sounds like a clutch issue. Usually you can drive it for awhile and not have it break. But let me know when your ready and you can bring it to Atl and we'll fix it up for you.
Good to see that you know what caused the fan problem.. Be sure to go back and update the thread...the info might help somebod.
Good luck with the clutch.
