    since now 4 days, when i'm speeding, i can hear the fan behind the radiator spinning faster, and making a really loud noise until i stop accelerating ...

    does anyone of you know where the problem come from?

    Sounds to me like

    the clutch fan is doing it's job.
    I suspect it will only be happening once the car is nice and hot.

    but the thing is that before 4 days ago, i've never heard this noise, now whenever i'm accelerating, i heard this bloody noise ...

    i just went to a garage, they told me its normal, i just never noticed it before (my ass)

    very weird that i didnt make this noise before, and now its doing it.
    duno if changing the fan will change anything ...

    before i brought my Z, the previous owner said he had those symptoms (said he had a jet engine under there) from that fan.

    Somethin was replaced and fixed. -> Back to normal

    So somethin is broken in regards to what drives that fan.

    Good Luck.

    The viscous coupling may be on it's way out.

    i used to have a nissan pathfinder coupling...

    mine sounded like a 4WD ALL THE TIME!!!

    must say though, on the hottest days i never had any sort of overheating issues!

    now i have a stock zed one, silence is golden...
