Description
Air blower for vehicles with automatic climate control for Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807.
This replacement blower motor (heater fan) is designed for Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807 models equipped with automatic climate control. It restores proper cabin airflow for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, helping to maintain consistent interior comfort and clear windscreen demisting. The unit is commonly searched by OEM numbers and aftermarket codes (for example 1499032080, 6441T9, 6441Y5), so customers who know the part number will find a direct match quickly.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Citroën / Peugeot (Stellantis)
- Model: Citroën C8, Peugeot 807
- Product Codes: 1499032080, 6441T9, 6441Y5

Function
The blower motor powers the fan that circulates air through the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system. It provides multiple blower speeds controlled by the vehicle’s climate control unit or blower resistor/module, enabling cabin temperature regulation and rapid demisting/defogging of windows.
Common Failure Causes
Failures on these blower units typically occur due to:
- Worn motor brushes or bearings leading to noise, reduced speed or seizure.
- Debris (leaves, dust) accumulated in the blower housing that jams the fan.
- Moisture ingress causing corrosion or short circuits.
- Electrical faults in connectors or the blower control/resistor (manifested as loss of some speed settings).
- Age and high mileage—blower motors often show symptoms after many years of use.
Installation Recommendations
Installation is straightforward for experienced technicians and competent DIYers. Typical steps:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting electrical work.
- Access the blower housing from under the glovebox or lower passenger-side dash (exact removal panels vary by model).
- Unplug the electrical connector and remove the fasteners securing the blower assembly.
- Remove the old unit, inspect the housing and duct for debris, and fit the new blower in the correct orientation.
- Reconnect the electrical connector and test all blower speeds before reassembling trim panels.
Use new mounting clips or screws if the originals are damaged. Check and, if necessary, replace the cabin air filter when servicing the blower to prevent premature recontamination.
Why Replace It
Replacing a failing blower motor restores reliable airflow, reduces cabin noise from a worn fan, improves HVAC performance and ensures effective window demisting. Because this component is critical for comfort and safety, timely replacement is recommended when symptoms (noise, reduced airflow, intermittent operation) appear.
Part numbers listed above are commonly used when searching for a direct-fit replacement. Always compare the physical connector and mounting points with the original part to confirm fitment before installation.
