|
|
My wife told me that when she started her 2001 330XI E46 she heard loud clunking noises. I had her start the car and I can see the cooling fan is wobbling severely and banging something. The shaft that the fan is attached to is clearly wobbling. My first thought is “oh my god, please don’t let it be severe engine trouble (It’s new to us)”. I thought that the shaft may go in to the engine block. I’ve since searched the forum and it appears the fan attaches to the water pump and the water pump is the likely problem. So I ask….
1. Does the fan bolt to the water pump?
2. Can someone give me a summary of how tough of a replacement this would be for a good DIY’er like myself.
3. Or how much I would pay for a pro to do it.
Thank you very much. _________________ 2001 330XI w/ 99k mi. |
