Description
Heater and air conditioning blower fan for Citroën Xsara Picasso and Peugeot 206, 307. For vehicles with automatic climate control.
This replacement blower motor is designed for workshop professionals and competent DIY mechanics who need a reliable cabin airflow unit for Citroën and Peugeot models. Supplied with original-style mounting and electrical connector, it restores proper airflow for heating and automatic climate control systems. Commonly searched by part number (e.g. 6441K0), this unit fits applications where the original blower has failed due to wear or contamination.

Function
The blower motor circulates air through the heater core and evaporator to deliver cabin heating, ventilation and air conditioning. In vehicles with automatic climate control the blower works together with the climate control module to maintain the selected cabin temperature and airflow level.
Common Failure Causes
Blower motors typically fail due to wear of the internal brushes and bearings, contamination from leaves and debris in the intake, overheating caused by a clogged cabin filter, or water ingress. Electrical faults such as connector corrosion or a failed blower resistor/regulator (if applicable) can also cause intermittent or complete loss of blower function.
Expected Service Life
Service life depends on vehicle use and environmental conditions. Under normal conditions a blower motor can last many years, but heavy use, contaminated intake or persistent moisture can shorten its life. If you notice reduced airflow, unusual noises or burning smells, inspect the blower motor and cabin filter promptly.
Replacement Procedure
Basic replacement steps (general guidance; follow vehicle manufacturer procedures):
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work to avoid electrical short or airbag system interference.
- Access the blower motor—typically located under the glovebox or behind a lower dash panel. Remove the glovebox or trim panels as required.
- Disconnect the blower electrical connector and any retaining screws or clips securing the motor assembly to the HVAC housing.
- Withdraw the old motor and compare flange and connector positions with the new unit to ensure correct fitment.
- Fit the new blower, secure mounting fasteners, reconnect the electrical plug and reassemble trim panels.
- Replace or inspect the cabin filter and check the blower resistor/regulator and wiring if the fault was electrical or intermittent.
- Reconnect the battery and verify operation at all fan speeds and in automatic climate modes.
Installation Recommendations
Use basic hand tools (sockets, Torx/Phillips screwdrivers, trim tools). Clean the blower intake area from leaves and debris before installation and replace the cabin filter if contaminated. Check connector pins for corrosion and ensure a secure electrical connection. When reassembling, avoid over-tightening plastic fixings. If the vehicle has an external blower resistor or electronic speed regulator, verify its function when troubleshooting fan speed issues.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Most failures are caused by mechanical wear (brushes and bearings) and contamination. Debris drawn into the intake can cause imbalance and noise, while a clogged cabin filter increases motor load and accelerates wear. Moisture or condensation can corrode electrical connections and internal motor parts, leading to intermittent operation or complete failure.
Part numbers and vehicle fitment are provided for reference; always verify that the part matches the vehicle application and connector type before installation. This blower motor is intended for vehicles equipped with automatic climate control and is a direct-fit replacement for applications listed above.
