Hi,
This is my first post, having had my Mark III a few months now.
I have a strange situation in that the viscous fan has suddenly started hitting the pulley down at the base of the engine. It therefore makes a terrible clattering sound. Now I am suspecting a possible worn water pump bearing as there is a very slight leak, however, I am surprised that this can cause this kind of issue.
My first question is to whether anyone has any other ideas as to what this could be and my second question is as I have the towing guy coming on Monday to take the care to the shop, is there a way I can temporarily stop the fan going round so that I can drive the car out of the parking garage so that the towing guy can actually pick the car up!
Many thanks
Phil
