Description
Product Overview
This fan regulator, corresponding to part number 6441V8, is designed specifically for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. It controls the speed of the cooling fan, ensuring the engine operates within optimal temperature ranges by adjusting fan operation according to engine needs. Maintaining proper cooling performance is crucial to prevent overheating and extend engine lifespan.
Function and Importance
The fan regulator modulates the electrical current flowing to the cooling fan motor, allowing variable fan speeds rather than just on or off. This ensures efficient heat dissipation from the radiator and optimizes fuel consumption and engine performance.
Common Failure and Replacement
Over time, fan regulators can fail due to electrical wear or overheating, resulting in fan malfunction or blower issues. Symptoms include the fan running only at full speed or not running at all. Replacement is usually straightforward; generally, it involves disconnecting the electrical connector and removing screws securing the unit within the engine bay. Installation should follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure proper fit and function.
