Opel Astra J 1.6 petrol vibration problem

Original Poster

When the car's fan kicks in at 90 degrees, it sometimes vibrates heavily, with shaking all the way to the steering wheel; has anyone encountered this problem?

The vibration that occurs when the fan kicks in is usually related to the fan blade balance, the fan motor/housing mounts, or the engine mounts. When the fan turns on, it adds extra load to the engine; if the idle can't compensate for that load properly, the vibration can increase. If the vibration is even felt through the steering wheel, the fan system and engine mounts should be checked together.
