Fan squeal
Every now and again my F starts to make a loud squealing noise which appears to come from somewhere near the driver's side air intake. It continues for a bit if I switch off, so I assume it's fan related. Is it anything serious, or just a noisy fan bearing or something of that nature?

Re: Fan squeal
Why would that keep going with the engine off?
Re: Fan squeal
Hi it is probaby the engine bay fan. Bearings dry-out. Squirt some DW4 or lithium grease on the fan shaft. should solve problem.
