Lestat Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Hello , my partner’s 2013, Diesel, A1 has developed a horrible screeching noise after she switches the engine off . I have located the noise to the radiator fans which are kicking in during this hot weather after she turns the engine off . I have attached a video of me rotating the fan blades my hand , and there is a clear knocking noise as you try to rotate the blades . They do not rotate freely . I am guessing the bearing is on its way out, or the possibly the fan motor . Could anyone here help ? Or point me in the right direction. I have only owned Volvos , so I am not used to working on Audi’s I am thinking I can just buy a new OEM fan unit and swap it out for the faulty one , or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thank you for your help IMG_0044.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 It could be the fan or motor. Could balso try a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
