Radiator -Mk1 Westcoast

my radiator is very loud...
stays on for about 30 seconds after the engine is switched off after a long drive.

and yes i know that its perfectly normal its just to cool the engine, bt ive seen a few radiators on peoples sax's that are different to mine...
can you buy aftermarket radiators/quieter ones?

you mean the fan??
there are different types yes
usually a loud fan is a broken fan

[goodall3518]

thatd be it yes

really?

[AlexB]

yea its the bushes in the fan motor collapse and make the noise

a new fan could be sourced from a scrappy cheap (but you run the risk of it being broken)
new fan from citroen might be pricey

[goodall3518]

hmm
so whats the recommended plan of action?

test the fan before you buy it and get one of a slightly newer model.
