I just bought a 1986 944 from some guy the other day and apparently there is a radiator problem. He said that its a radiator fan bearing problem. But ive been looking around and it says the fan is electrical... It makes a rubbing/grinding/screeching sound, kind of like a worn belt would make. I really want to get her fixed because otherwise from that she runs BEAUTIFULLY!! Please help, I really dont know what to do.

replace the fan.

yeah.. replace it, but before you do that check the wiring, and the fuse for it.

is the sound there from start up cold ? or only when the engine is hot ? sounds more likely to be the alternator bearing sizing causing the belt to slip on the pulley. Take a look at your alternator pulley and see if it is all shiny from belt slip
