Description
Product Overview
The Sahara Radiator Fan with variable speed control is designed specifically for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, ensuring efficient engine cooling and ventilation. Manufactured by Faurecia, this fan is compatible with popular models such as the Citroën C5 and C6, as well as the Peugeot 407. It plays a crucial role in regulating engine temperature by adjusting fan speed based on cooling demand, which prevents overheating and maintains optimal engine performance.
Application and Replacement
This radiator fan is commonly sought after under the product codes 1253L5 and 1253T2. It is typically installed behind the radiator and is directly responsible for drawing air through the radiator fins to dissipate heat from the coolant. Over time, radiator fans may fail due to motor wear, electrical faults, or damage to the fan blades. Replacement is straightforward for professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts, usually involving the removal of the old fan assembly and reconnecting the new one with all electrical connectors and fasteners.
Common Issues and Function
The radiator fan ensures the engine remains within its ideal operating temperature range by enhancing airflow through the cooling system. Fans with variable speed regulation like this one adjust their RPM according to engine temperature sensors, improving energy efficiency and reducing unnecessary noise. Failure of the fan can lead to engine overheating, loss of air conditioning performance, and potential engine damage.
