Description
Product Overview
The Sahara Radiator Fan 1253G4 is a high-quality cooling fan with variable speed regulation, specially designed for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the engine’s optimal operating temperature by efficiently dissipating heat from the radiator. This part is particularly suitable for the Citroën Xsara Picasso 1.6 HDi 80kW, ensuring reliable cooling performance under various driving conditions.
Function and Importance
The radiator fan helps prevent engine overheating by accelerating airflow through the radiator, especially at low vehicle speeds or when the air conditioning system is in use. It adjusts its speed based on temperature demands, conserving energy and reducing noise. Over time, radiator fans may fail due to wear of the electric motor, bearing issues, or electrical faults, which can lead to insufficient cooling and potential engine damage.
Replacement and Maintenance
Replacing the radiator fan involves disconnecting the electrical connectors and unfastening the mounting screws or clips. Access usually requires opening the engine bay and potentially removing protective covers or components nearby to reach the fan assembly. Routine inspection is recommended during scheduled maintenance, particularly if warning signals about engine temperature arise or if unusual noises are detected from the fan area.
