Description
This cooling fan with variable speed control (SAHARA) is designed specifically for PSA Group vehicles, mainly Citroën and Peugeot models. It ensures efficient cooling of the engine by regulating airflow through the radiator, which is crucial for maintaining optimal engine temperature and preventing overheating during various driving conditions.
Commonly fitted to Citroën C5 III and Peugeot 407 facelift models, this fan is a reliable component for both professional mechanics and car enthusiasts performing their own repairs. The fan operates with variable speed control to adapt to the engine’s cooling requirements, reducing wear and noise compared to fixed-speed alternatives.
Replacement and Maintenance
The cooling fan may fail due to electrical issues, motor wear, or damage caused by debris impacting the blades. Regular inspection during routine vehicle maintenance can help identify early signs of malfunction, such as unusual noise, inconsistent fan speed, or engine temperature fluctuations. Replacement is recommended if the fan shows any signs of failure to avoid engine overheating and potential damage.
The installation process generally involves disconnecting the battery, removing any protective covers, unplugging the electrical connector, and detaching the fan assembly from the radiator. It’s advisable to follow vehicle-specific manuals to ensure proper removal and installation. Using the correct part number (1253R8) guarantees compatibility and optimal performance.
