Hi there,
We are the unfortunate ones to have this 2003 Intrigue!!!!! Wish we kept our 2000!!!! Anyway besides the leak problems (we can"t find) we now have another problem. Started up the coach today after sitting in park for 3 months and there is a terrible rattle coming from the radiator area.... When I open the back compartment the noise doesn't sound quite so bad from there as it does on the side. Wondering if it would be a bearing or fan belt. We are in the Harlingen, Texas area. Does anyone have any advice...or thoughts.....or know where we can go to get it checked out...

Paul, recently my air duct that brings outside air to my air filter came apart. It is square, was welded together and runs from the upper right outside of my coach through the engine compartment to the air cleaner. The welds came apart and it makes a loud rattling noise that sounds like a bad bearing. It's hard to see the broken welds. Good luck.

I just had a similar experience and it was the driver's coolant pump. Shut the engine down, turn the key to the on position and see if the noise is there. The coolant pump on mine is located inside the frame rail between the radiator and the transmission and runs whenever the key is turned on. I never knew it until the "noise" showed up.
