#1: Engine cooling fan blow or suck? Author: philip.nh, Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2014 7:53 am ---- Hi. I have a 51 plate 206 1.1 lx. The cooling fan has developed a horrible screeching sound when it first spins up which I have put down to knackered bearings.
Having an early non a/c model 206 my fan looks to be an old design.
pic: current fan
The fan bolts onto the plastic radiator surround at the motor (rather than the newer ones where the fan cowling bolts onto the plastic). It also sits between the plastic surround and the radiator rather than the newer fan design which can be removed without removing the radiator.
I managed to find a replacement fan on ebay which looked to be the same design and a like for like replacement. However….
The current/old fan blows air into the engine bay, directly onto the radiator.
The new fan has the same rotation direction however the pitch of the fan blades are opposite to the original fan so rather than blowing air into the engine bay it blows out the front of the car (sucking air away from the radiator).
So i'm hoping some of you will be able to advise me on my dilemma!
Did peugeot change the polarity of the fan connector in later years? Or did they change the design so that rather than blowing air onto the radiator it sucked air away from it?
Any advice that you can offer is really appreciated!
Thanks, Phil

So guess the replacement one you got is faulty.
