Description
Product Overview
The Fan Regulator 6441V8 is a vital electrical component used in Citroën and Peugeot vehicles to control the speed of the cooling fan. By regulating the fan’s operation, it ensures optimal engine temperature, preventing overheating while maintaining efficient engine performance.
This resistor-type regulator manages the power supply to the radiator fan, adapting fan speed according to engine temperature and vehicle conditions. It plays a key role in the vehicle’s cooling system, helping maintain proper climate control and engine longevity.
Installation and Maintenance
The fan regulator 6441V8 is typically located near the radiator or integrated within the fan assembly, depending on the model. Replacement is straightforward for experienced mechanics and knowledgeable DIY enthusiasts: disconnect the electrical connector, remove the mounting screws, and install the new regulator securely. Proper installation ensures stable fan operation and prevents common issues such as fan failure or erratic speeds.
Common causes of failure include heat stress, corrosion, and electrical wear over time, especially in vehicles frequently exposed to high engine temperatures or harsh environments. It is recommended to inspect the regulator during routine cooling system maintenance or if symptoms like fluctuating fan speeds, overheating alerts, or HVAC malfunctions appear.
