Recently I replaced the heads with new units. Once the motor was out I also replaced the clutch plate, pressure plate, throw out bearing. I have now noticed a motor vibration when the car reaches 1200 to 1500 RPM when the car is stationary. The vibration does not seem to appear while driving. My gut feeling is a worn cooling fan bush running out of true when revs are increased! I am not experienced in this cooling fan arrangement as I have only owned beetles and kombis before I restored this fastback.</div><div style="font-family: ArialMT;"><br></div><div style="font-family: ArialMT;">Can anyone suggest a probable cause of this vibration. Should it be the fan are they easy to replace and does the motor have to be taken out of the car to complete the replacement? Any advice would be helpful.</div><div style="font-family: ArialMT;"><br></div><div style="font-family: ArialMT;">Regards,</div><div style="font-family: ArialMT;"><br></div><div style="font-family: ArialMT;">Ross Clarke (Australia)<br><div apple-content-edited="true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; border-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy';"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Ross G Clarke</span></div></div><div style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;">0402 487 469</div><div style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><a href="mailto:clarkeross28@internode.on.net">clarkeross28@internode.on.net</a></div></div></div></div></span></span></div></div><div apple-content-edited="true">
