Wonder if a blades cracked or it's the motor shaft that's spun out of the blade. It is exactly that, cracked blade on one of them. Throws the balance out.. But bugger me.. The vibrations go through the entire car. Also found a hole in the top snorkel... Duct taped that sucker for now... Glad I did the f6 snorkel mod. Obviously not what is causing the good.good.good.good vibrations. But hey... when it rains... it pours.. Considering my mechanic already had to duct tape some of the air hoses around the cross over (rkns not worth the expense to fix the original)... might be time to invest in a turbo side CAI.

Fan is all vibration in the cabin, outside you can hear it a bit. Never noticed any noise from the snorkel.

Would be an impressively big fail for the fan to be able to do that 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochefort Member 80 Member For: 10y 10m 24d Posted 08/03/19 10:50 AM Author Share Posted 08/03/19 10:50 AM No idea. But if the busted fan blade did it, then the shroud should be damaged as well... Nothing wrong with the shroud All fixed now. Pretty easy job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
