Description
Overview
This used Sahara radiator fan is an OEM cooling fan suitable for Citroen and Peugeot vehicles, supplied under product codes 9656346880 and 1253K6. Designed for professional mechanics and experienced DIYers, it offers a cost-effective original-equipment replacement to restore proper engine cooling.
Function And Benefits
The radiator fan assists the cooling system by drawing air through the radiator when additional airflow is required, helping to remove excess heat from the engine coolant. On PSA vehicles this is an electrically driven fan controlled by the engine management system or a temperature switch, ensuring timely operation to prevent overheating and maintain optimal engine temperature.
Common Faults And Service Considerations
Common failure modes include worn motor bearings, damaged blades, seized hubs, corroded electrical connectors or wiring faults, and failures in related relays or temperature sensors. Symptoms of a failing fan are engine overheating, intermittent operation, or the fan running continuously. Regular visual inspection and checking the electrical connector and mounting can help avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Replacement
Replacement is straightforward for an experienced mechanic or competent DIYer. Typical steps: disconnect the battery, remove any necessary engine covers, unplug the fan electrical connector, unbolt the fan or fan shroud from the radiator, fit the replacement unit and secure fasteners to manufacturer torque specifications, reconnect the electrical connector and test operation. Workshop time typically ranges from 1 to 3 hours depending on vehicle access.
