sounds not normal to me
anybody knows what this is?

 

I can't tell much with that recording...

 

does it sound normal? or recording quality bad?

 

Recording quality bad. Unless that static is the noise you're talking about.

 

i can hear two type of sound in this video clip; fan and something
i'm talking about the something, not fan

 

Is the fan constantly running through the recording? And I kinda hear a second noise come later in the recording; Is that the noise your speaking of?

 

yeah, both are constantly sounding,, i might record it again tomorrow sorry

 

If you could get a better recording that would be great. Otherwise, make sure you're full of coolant.

It's not running hot is it? And do you know what temperature the noise starts, or is it constantly making noise while the car is running?

 

yeah that is making sound while engine is running
engine temp is very normal

and heater doesn't blow very hot air
i'm not sure it is related though

 

I may need to rephrase my question; Does it make that noise before the electric fan comes on?

 

oh, well i've never seen my electric fan not moving
i just realized that it's weird
the fan is always blowing and noise also sounds always

i bought this car about 3weeks ago and drove about 5times so don't know well

 

Now, I can't tell much, but the noise may just be the coolant flowing through the radiator, but something tells me the previous owner had an overheating problem and went overkill on it by making the fan run constantly and probably removing the thermostat.

 

does xj fan has bearing?
and is it ok to have forever running fan?

 

The constantly running fan should only be a temporary fix at best. The fan should only come on to keep the engine at an optimal running temperature, the temp the engine was designed to run at. If the fan is running constantly, not only will it wear the fan out faster, but it may make the engine run too cool and never reach operating temp.

 

Oh, and yes electric fans have bearings.
