Description
Air blower for vehicles with automatic climate control for Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807.
This heater and air-conditioning blower motor assembly is a direct-fit replacement designed for the HVAC systems of Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807 models. It supplies the airflow for heating, ventilation and automatic air conditioning, helping to maintain cabin comfort and defogging performance. The part is commonly searched by OEM numbers, so the included product codes increase findability for workshop technicians and DIY repairers.
Typical Application And Function
The blower motor forces air through the heater core and evaporator, then into the cabin via the vehicle ducting. It supports all fan-speed commands from the automatic climate control unit. Proper blower function is essential for rapid cabin heating, cooling and windshield demisting.
How It Is Replaced
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work to avoid short circuits.
- Access the blower motor—on these models it is generally located under the dashboard on the passenger side, often behind or below the glovebox. Remove the glovebox or access panel as required.
- Unplug the electrical connector and remove the mounting screws or clips securing the blower assembly.
- Withdraw the old blower motor assembly, fit the new unit in the same orientation, secure with fasteners and reconnect the electrical plug.
- Before reassembling trim, reconnect the battery and briefly test all blower speeds and automatic climate functions to confirm correct operation.
How Often It Fails
Service life depends on usage and environment. Typical failures are more likely after many years or high mileage, especially in vehicles exposed to dust, moisture or frequent stop-start urban driving. Many workshop observations show increased faults after 8–15 years, but actual lifespan varies.
How To Identify A Faulty Blower
- Reduced or No Airflow At Any Fan Setting
- Intermittent Operation Or Loss Of Specific Fan Speeds
- Unusual Grinding, Rubbing Or Squealing Noise From Under Dash
- Burning Smell Or Smoke During Operation (Stop Immediately)
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën / Peugeot)
- Model: Citroën C8, Peugeot 807
- Product Codes: 1499032080
- Other Numbers: 6441T9, 6441Y5
Installation Recommendations
- Always Disconnect The Battery Before Work To Prevent Electrical Damage.
- Inspect And Replace The Cabin Air Filter If Heavily Contaminated; A Clogged Filter Increases Motor Load.
- Check The Blower Fuse And Wiring Connector For Corrosion Or Heat Damage Before Installing The New Unit.
- Clean The Blower Housing And Drain Channels Of Debris; Foreign objects can cause noise and premature wear.
- Test The New Blower On All Fan Speeds And Verify Operation Of Automatic Climate Control Modes Prior To Final Reassembly.
Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
- Worn Brushes Or Bearings Causing Increased Friction And Noise.
- Foreign Debris (Leaves, Dust) Entering The Housing Leading To Blockage Or Imbalance.
- Moisture Ingress Or Corrosion At The Electrical Connector Reducing Voltage To The Motor.
- Overheating From Restricted Airflow Or Excessive Electrical Load.
Replacement with a correctly numbered unit (1499032080 / 6441T9 / 6441Y5) restores reliable airflow and helps maintain proper operation of the automatic climate control system. Searching by these OEM numbers will help technicians and enthusiasts find the correct part quickly.
