    Default Loud Fan VR Commodore

    Hi all, very first post on this forum haha, so bare with me.
    Yeah i got a 94 VR and with my A/C when i turn it on, the fan is really loud on 3, but i can't here it on 1 and 2, on 3 it makes like a humming noise, sounds like leaves are stuck in it or something, or could it be a broken fin? the fan is louder on 4, but i dont think it even comes on at 1 and 2, because its not even cold. only cold on 3 and 4.

    Fixes/ideas would be greatly appreciated

    They are a bit loud I don't think it's a problem. Bit hard to diagnose over the internet.

    Re: leaf stuck in your fan, this happens quite often with these cars. Remove your glove box and have a poke around, you'll find the fan. Reach inside and pull out leaves. Will become obvious what to do as you go along.

    If you can't hear it on 1 and 2 AND IT ISN'T BLOWING AIR, your fan speed resistor will need replaced.

    If you can't hear it on 1 and 2 BUT IT IS blowing air out of the vents, it's fine.

    Not a problem, if you need help with it it's a job I've done before on a VN so I should be able to give you any information you need.

    Just clean the intake for it, keep leaves and shit out of your plenum under the windscreen, at the sides there where your bonnet hinges are I think is the intake on VN-S. Shitty design but I didn't invent it
