Description
Product Overview
This Fan Regulator 6441V8 is specifically designed for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, providing precise control of the cooling fan to maintain optimal engine temperature. It plays a crucial role in the vehicle’s cooling system by regulating fan speed based on engine temperature and environmental conditions, preventing overheating and ensuring efficient operation.
Function and Importance
The fan regulator controls the electric fan’s speed by adjusting the resistance in the fan circuit. When the engine temperature rises, the regulator increases the fan speed to improve airflow through the radiator, thus cooling the engine. Proper fan control helps avoid engine overheating, reduces wear and tear, and contributes to overall vehicle performance.
Common Applications and Replacement
This part is compatible with various Citroën and Peugeot models that utilize the product code 6441V8 for their cooling fan regulation systems. It is commonly found on models such as the Citroën C3, C4, and Peugeot 206, 207, though exact fitment should be verified against the specific vehicle’s compatibility list. Replacement intervals vary but generally range between 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers depending on usage and environmental factors. Signs of failure include erratic fan speeds, overheating, or the fan not operating at all.
Installation Guide
Replacing the fan regulator typically involves accessing the cooling fan assembly located near the radiator. After disconnecting the battery, remove the electrical connectors from the faulty regulator, detach the mounting screws, and install the new part in reverse order. It is recommended to check related components such as fuses, wiring, and the fan motor during installation to ensure proper system function.
