Description
Heater servo motor for Citroen C2, C3 and PEUGEOT 206 and 307 cars
Part description
This heating servo motor (Buhler / BEHR) is an electrical component used in the heating/ventilation system, where it ensures smooth control of the flaps and thus correct regulation of air flow and temperature. It is suitable as a replacement for defects such as irregular adjustment of flaps, non-functioning regulation or audible skipping/groaning when changing settings.
In practice, this part is often searched for by number, so we include the important designations in the description: 95494 and 6447QN. The product “Servo Buhler BEHR Citroën Peugeot 95494 6447QN” is intended for the mentioned models and when replacing it, it is crucial to compare the markings and design with the existing part in the car.

Installation recommendations
In general/typically, the replacement of the heater servo motor may vary depending on the specific heating/air conditioning design in the car. Below is a practical procedure typical for this type of part.
1) Before assembly
- Compare old and new part: numbers 95494 / 6447QN, body shape, mount, connector and axis/output orientation.
- Check the undamaged connector and wiring in the car (loose pins, oxidation).
- Before working, disconnect the negative pole of the battery (prevention of short circuits and electrical errors).
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Basic set of screwdrivers and bits (according to the type of screws used)
- Ratchet with attachments, or small tools for confined spaces
- Plastic pry bar for removing the paneling (so that the plastic does not crack)
- Flashlight
- Contact cleaner for electrical connectors (recommended)
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Secure the vehicle against movement, turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery.
- Access the heating/ventilation space by removing the covers/trimmings that prevent access to the servo motor (procedure depends on the car model).
- Locate the servo motor and mark the position of the connector and possibly the wiring for proper repositioning.
- Disconnect the electrical connector – do not pull on the cables, release the connector lock.
- Loosen and remove the servo motor mounting screws/mounts.
- Carefully remove the motor from its housing so as not to damage the lever/gearing/connection to the damper.
- Compare the new part with the old one again (mounting, shaft, connector).
- Mount the servo motor in the same position as the original piece; check that it fits without tension.
- Tighten the fasteners appropriately so as not to break the plastic parts.
- Connect the electrical connector and verify that it is properly secured.
- Reinstall the removed covers/trims.
- Connect the battery.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Try changing the heating/ventilation settings (flow direction, temperature change) and see if the reaction is smooth and without unusual noises.
- Check that there are no ventilation gaps after assembly and that the connector is tight.
- When driving, verify that the regulation works stably even during longer operation.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Part exchange (different connector/mount design): always check numbers 95494 / 6447QN and physical design.
- Connector damage when disconnecting: loosen the connector lock and do not pry with force.
- Bad seating into storage (tension, crooked landing): the motor must land naturally, without force.
- Screw tightening: tighten with sensitivity so that the plastic parts do not crack.
- Post-assembly check not performed: always test the function of all control modes that the servo motor affects.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Wear of gears and mechanics during long-term operation (backlash, skipping, noise).
- Increased resistance of the flaps (stuttering of the mechanism), which overloads the engine.
- Moisture and oxidation in the area of connectors and contacts, power fluctuations.
- Overvoltage or unstable electrical network of the vehicle, bad contacts in the connectors.
- Incompetent handling during disassembly/assembly (damage to the connector, broken handles, crooked seating).
