Description
BEHR Heating Servo Motor for PEUGEOT 3008 and 5008 First Generation. The toothed gear section can be removed and the motor used on its own.
This BEHR heater servo motor is a direct-fit HVAC actuator commonly used in first-generation Peugeot 3008 and 5008 models. Designed for workshop replacement or DIY repairs, the unit drives temperature and air-mixing flaps inside the heater box to maintain cabin comfort. Many customers search by part numbers (Z5509001, 2706149A, 6479A9), so listing these references helps fast identification and avoids time-consuming troubleshooting.
Benefits
Reliable replacement for worn or noisy HVAC actuators, easily installed with basic tools. The removable toothed section offers flexibility: reuse only the motor where an adapter or custom solution is required. Ideal for mechanics and experienced DIYers who need a cost-effective repair without replacing the whole heater box.
How It Works
The servo motor converts low-voltage electrical signals from the vehicle’s climate control into rotational movement that positions blend and flap mechanisms inside the heater/air-conditioning unit. Precise positioning ensures correct temperature mixing and vent distribution. Loss of control or stripped gears results in incorrect airflow or temperature fluctuations.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: BEHR
- Model: PEUGEOT 3008 I; PEUGEOT 5008 I (first generation)
- Product Codes: Z5509001, 2706149A, 6479A9
- Other Numbers: OEM/Reference 2706149A, 6479A9
Fitment
Intended For: Peugeot 3008 I and Peugeot 5008 I (first generation). Check the actuator location and part shape against the original unit before installation. This servo is often cross-referenced by the codes above, which improves searchability for maintenance shops and parts departments.
Installation Recommendation
- Disconnect the battery before starting any electrical work to avoid short circuits or damage to the vehicle electronics.
- Access the actuator via the glovebox or lower dashboard trim on the passenger side depending on model. Remove the necessary panels to reach the heater box.
- Unplug the electrical connector and remove retaining screws. Carefully extract the actuator from the heater box to avoid disturbing nearby hoses and wiring.
- If reusing the toothed gear section, inspect it for wear and ensure proper engagement with the flap shaft; if removing the gear, secure the motor according to the chosen mounting method or adapter.
- After installation, cycle the climate controls through full range to verify smooth operation and correct flap travel. Some vehicles perform automatic actuator self-calibration on first power-up; if abnormal behavior persists, recheck mounting and connections.
- Use light dielectric grease on connectors if needed and avoid forcing plastic gears to prevent breakage.
Reason Why The Part Most Often Fails
Failure Is Frequently Caused By Stripped Or Damaged Plastic Gears, Debris Or Dust Infiltration, And Wear Of Internal Brushes Or Bearings. Moisture Ingress And Corrosion At The Electrical Connector Can Also Lead To Intermittent Operation Or Complete Failure. In Many Cases The Motor Remains Functional While The Gear Train Fails, Which Makes The Option To Remove The Toothed Section Useful.
Notes For Buyers
Search By Part Number For Faster Identification. This is a practical replacement unit for workshops and skilled DIYers. If the original fault was noisy movement, incorrect temperature mixing or stuck flaps, replacing the servo motor and checking for debris inside the heater box usually resolves the issue.
