Description
Overview
High-quality Valeo heater servo motor designed for PSA group vehicles. This HVAC servo (actuator) F663746L/B 6447NL is used to control interior temperature and airflow direction by moving blend and flap mechanisms inside the heater/AC box. It is a direct replacement option for Citroën and compatible Peugeot models, helping restore correct cabin temperature regulation and eliminate erratic flap movement or incorrect temperature settings.
Key Benefits
- Accurate control of blend doors for precise cabin temperature
- Direct-fit for easy installation on supported PSA vehicles
- Restores correct HVAC operation and eliminates HVAC error codes related to flap position
- OEM-quality component from a reputable supplier in vehicle electrics
Function And Common Symptoms
The servo motor moves internal flaps and blend doors to regulate air temperature and distribution. Typical failure symptoms include unusual clicking noises from the dashboard, inability to change cabin temperature, stuck vents, inconsistent airflow, or HVAC fault messages. Failures most often result from worn or stripped plastic gears, internal motor wear, moisture ingress, or failed position sensors within the actuator.
Replacement Guide
On most Citroën C2/C3 and similar PSA models the actuator is accessible behind the glovebox or lower dash panel. General replacement steps:
- Disconnect the vehicle battery for safety.
- Remove the glovebox or lower dash trim to access the HVAC housing.
- Locate the servo motor on the heater box, unplug the electrical connector and remove the fixing screws.
- Install the new actuator ensuring correct gear engagement and secure screws; reconnect the electrical connector.
- Reassemble the trim/glovebox and reconnect the battery. Cycle the HVAC to confirm correct operation and calibration if required by the vehicle.
Causes Of Failure & Expected Service Life
Actuators commonly fail due to mechanical wear of plastic gears, overheating from prolonged operation, moisture contamination, or internal motor/position sensor faults. Usage patterns, climate exposure and age influence longevity; many units perform well for several years but may need replacement after extended service (typical lifespans vary by vehicle use and environment).

Compatibility Notes
Primary fitment includes Citroën C2 and C3 models and is suitable for a range of PSA group vehicles. Always verify fitment by comparing part numbers (F663746L/B or 6447NL) with the vehicle’s requirements or consult the vehicle VIN lookup to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Practical Tips
- Before ordering, compare old part number and connector shape to ensure compatibility.
- Handle gears gently during installation to avoid misalignment.
- If replacing due to noise, inspect surrounding ductwork and flap linkages for damage that could accelerate wear on a new actuator.
This Valeo servo motor F663746L/B 6447NL is an effective service replacement for restoring correct HVAC function on compatible Citroën and Peugeot models. If you are a professional mechanic or a DIY enthusiast, this actuator provides a straightforward route to fixing common climate control faults associated with worn or failed servos.
