squeaking radiator fan

[Greg Smith]

Hello all. Subject says it all. Vehicle is an 86
Syncro with a Jetta one(high)speed fan(via previous
owner-said he got tired of replacing expensive,
two-speed Syncro fans). Only happens once in a while
but when it does, the fan seems to seize up for a
second or so. Is it time to replace or will some sort
of lubrication keep it going for a while longer? For
some reason the Jetta fan has twice as many blades and
is LOUD when it comes on vs. standard Syncro fan that
is barely audible(on low speed). Other than that, it
seems to work very well albeit short cycling a
considerable amount on hot days. Consensus on staying
with another Jetta fan if this one quits on me?
Thanks for your time,
Greg
