Description
This Valeo heater blower fan is a direct-fit replacement designed for Peugeot 107 and Citroen C1 models. Intended for vehicles without air conditioning, it restores effective cabin ventilation and heating performance. The unit is commonly referenced by part numbers 6441v1, 6450SN and N101813C, making it easy to find in catalogs and online searches.
Function And Common Symptoms
The blower fan circulates air through the heater core and into the passenger compartment. When the unit begins to fail you may notice reduced airflow, unusual grinding or rattling noises, intermittent operation, or a burning odor. Electrical faults, worn brushes, seized bearings, and debris buildup are common causes of malfunction.
Replacement And Installation Notes
Access is typically gained from the passenger footwell by removing the glovebox or lower dash panel. Standard replacement steps: disconnect the negative battery terminal, remove trim panels to reach the blower housing, unplug the electrical connector, remove retaining screws or clips, replace the blower motor assembly and reassemble. Verify operation before refitting panels. Recommended for experienced DIYers and professional mechanics; time needed depends on experience and vehicle configuration.
Maintenance And Longevity
Lifespan varies with usage and environment; routine inspection for debris and electrical connections helps prevent premature failure. If you experience noisy operation or reduced airflow, check the blower, fuse, and blower resistor or control module as part of diagnosis.
