On warm to hot days (yes, we do have them in Melbourne), my T occassionally gets this fairly high pitched whirring noise (even at idle). I suspect its the cooling fan but it's so noisy people walking past stop and turn to see where it's coming from.

I could confirm where its coming from by lifting the bonnet, but assuming I'm right about the electric cooling fan, are they noisy or is it just mine?

You Vic's are amazing, yes the fans are noisy when they're all working. To the point that you can feel hot air passing you if you have the window down. I suspect that people look beacuse they're not normally on in Victoria, where as in Brissy they're always on, Winter too.

Noisy, sounds like a phuken jet plane getting ready for take-off.

Try standing to the side of your vehicle when the fan is on: the breeze will knock you off your feet :ta: .

It's quite funny when a pedestrian is walking past the front of your car at the lights when it switches on. I'm sure they think the cars gonna gobble them up and spit them out.
