The radiator fan’s main function is to cool the engine coolant by drawing air through the radiator when the vehicle is stationary or moving at low speeds, thereby maintaining optimal engine temperature.
Over time, radiator fans can fail due to bearing wear, motor burnout, or electrical faults, which may cause engine overheating and reduced cooling efficiency. Regular inspection and timely replacement are crucial to avoid potential engine damage.
Installation involves disconnecting the vehicle battery, removing the faulty fan assembly, and fitting the new fan unit, aligning connectors and mounting points properly. Due to the varied designs across Citroën and Peugeot models, consulting the vehicle’s service manual is recommended to ensure correct replacement procedure.
