Description
Product Overview
This Heating Servo Motor, manufactured by BEHR, is designed specifically for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. It plays a crucial role in regulating the heater system by controlling the movement of the heating flaps, which ensures efficient airflow and temperature management inside the cabin. Suitable for models such as Citroën C5 I and Peugeot Xsara, this component ensures a comfortable driving environment by responding accurately to climate control settings.
Function and Common Issues
The servo motor operates electrical signals sent by the vehicle’s climate control system to adjust the heater valves or flaps. Over time, these motors can wear out due to repeated use, heat exposure, or electrical issues, leading to inconsistent heating or failure to open or close properly. Replacement is recommended when symptoms such as no heat, unusual noises from the HVAC system, or inconsistent temperature control appear.
Installation Guidelines
Replacing the heating servo motor typically involves removing the dashboard panel to access the HVAC unit. The faulty servo motor is disconnected from its electrical connector and mounting points, then replaced with the new unit (part number 210665693F / 6447AP). Proper alignment and secure fastening are essential to ensure optimal function. This task is suitable for experienced DIY mechanics or professional technicians.
