It supplies forced airflow for cabin heating and air conditioning systems, restoring proper ventilation and climate control performance. This unit corresponds to PSA part numbers commonly searched by mechanics and DIYers.
Key Applications

Features & Benefits
- Direct replacement for original Valeo blower motors used in PSA models.
- Restores cabin airflow and heater efficiency.
- Simplifies diagnosis: often replaced when blower stops, makes noise or runs only on certain speeds.
Common Failure Modes & Maintenance
Failures are typically caused by worn brushes or bearings, contamination from dust or leaves, water ingress, or excessive electrical load due to a clogged cabin filter. Symptoms include no air movement, noisy operation, or blower working only on highest speed. Regularly replacing the cabin filter and avoiding water exposure extends service life.
