Description
Heater fan VALEO for Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107. For vehicles with air conditioning.
Overview
This Valeo heater blower is a direct-fit replacement designed for Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107 models equipped with air conditioning. It delivers the airflow required for heater and ventilation systems, restoring cabin comfort and proper climate control performance. The unit is commonly referenced by product codes 1608174880, 6441V0 and 6441V2 — useful keywords when searching parts catalogues or ordering by part number.
Function and Application
The heater fan (blower motor) forces air through the HVAC evaporator and heater core into the passenger compartment. On vehicles with air conditioning, a properly functioning blower ensures effective cabin cooling and defogging. This Valeo unit replaces the electric blower assembly that sits behind the glovebox on Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107 models.
Replacement Procedure (Summary)
Replacement of the blower motor is a standard workshop or DIY job for competent mechanics. Typical steps are:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before any work on the HVAC electrical components.
- Remove the glovebox or access panel to reach the blower housing on the passenger side lower dash.
- Unplug the electrical connector and remove fixation screws/clips holding the blower assembly.
- Withdraw the old blower motor and fit the new unit, ensuring the air inlet seals and mounting surfaces are clean.
- Reconnect the electrical connector, refit panels, reconnect the battery and verify operation at all fan speeds.
Installation Recommendations
Always disconnect the battery before starting work to avoid short circuits. Check the condition of the blower housing, mounting studs and seals; damaged seals or debris can lead to noise or reduced airflow. When installing, ensure the electrical connector is fully engaged and that the fan spins freely by hand before final assembly. If vehicle has unusual blower speed behavior after replacement, inspect the resistor (if applicable) and fuses/connections in the HVAC circuit.
Why The Part Most Commonly Fails
Blower motors typically fail because of worn brushes or bearings, contamination with dust and debris, moisture ingress, or overheating from restricted airflow. In vehicles with high mileage or heavy cabin dust, bearing wear or seized fan blades are frequent causes of noise and reduced performance. Electrical issues such as corroded connectors or a failed blower resistor can also mimic motor failure and should be checked during diagnosis.
