Used Nissan NV400 Radiator Fan

The Nissan NV400 is powered exclusively by diesel engines and in common with most modern diesel-engined vans it uses an electric radiator fan (or viscous fan depending on variant) rather than none at all, so yes, a radiator fan does exist on this model. The NV400 was sold in the UK from 2011 onwards, sharing its platform and drivetrain with the Renault Master and Vauxhall Movano, and a radiator cooling fan assembly is a genuine fitment across the range. If you are searching for this part you are looking in the right place.

The NV400 in the UK runs as a single generation from 2011 onwards, with a facelift arriving around 2014; the fundamental engine family carried across that facelift boundary, but cooling system ancillaries and fan mounting arrangements can change mid-production. You should confirm with the breaker by supplying your registration or engine code, as they can cross-reference the specific assembly against your vehicle before you commit to buying.

Yes, the engine code is the single most important detail you can supply — it sits above fuel type, year, or body length when identifying the correct fan assembly. The NV400 uses 2.3-litre diesel engines but output variants (100, 125, 145 bhp and so on) can influence the cooling setup, so quoting your engine code (found on your V5C or via a VIN check) to the breaker will give you the most accurate match. Do not rely on bhp badge alone, as the stamped engine code is more precise.

Body length and wheelbase do not affect which radiator fan is fitted — this is a mechanical part that follows the engine variant, not the body style. As long as the engine codes match between donor and recipient vehicle, the body configuration of either van is irrelevant to fan fitment. Tell the breaker your engine code and year rather than your wheelbase and they will be able to help you far more accurately.

Trim level — whether your van is a base SE, SE Comfort, or higher specification variant — has no bearing on the radiator fan fitted, as this is entirely determined by the engine. You should not pay any extra or go out of your way to source a fan from the same trim, as the cooling system does not change between trim grades on the same engine. The only differences you might notice between parts pulled from different-spec donors are cosmetic items like shroud colour or bracket finish, which do not affect function.

The NV400, Renault Master, and Vauxhall Movano share a common platform and the same 2.3-litre diesel engine family, so fan assemblies from these vehicles are widely regarded by breakers as interchangeable across the range. However, production changes and supplier variations mean you should still confirm the specific part reference with the breaker against your engine code and registration, rather than assuming all years and variants will swap without question. Many breakers who deal in one of these vans will hold stock applicable to all three, which can make sourcing easier.
