Hi

i have a Boxster S 2000 model 3.2L

last week and out of sudden i started hearing a loud noise coming from the front of the car (left and right)

i noticed that it comes from the fans cooling the radiators in front. plus i get a very strong vibrations all over the car

the sound is very loud and if i turn the AC unit off the sound will go and the vibration will disappear.

Any suggestions?

You need to isolate which fan motor is failing. A fan blade might have been damaged from road debris or the bushings in the motor are done. With the vehicle off, inspect each fan motor for any broken bits,play in the rotor or rubbish caught in the unit. It sounds as if it only happens on high speed.

Sounds like the Aux. A/C fan, it's really loud when perfectly functional.

I can only imagine what it sounds like with a bad bearing.
