Second Hand Peugeot 307 Radiator Fan

The Peugeot 307 ran from 2001 to 2008, with a facelift in 2005, so there are two distinct phases to consider. The engine code is the most important factor — a fan from a pre-facelift 2001–2005 car may or may not suit a post-facelift 2005–2008 car even on the same engine, as mounting and ancillary details can change across a production refresh. Name your engine code and registration to the breaker and let them confirm whether the fan assembly from their vehicle crosses that 2005 boundary safely.

Radiator fans on the 307 follow the engine rather than just the fuel type, so an HDi diesel fan and a petrol fan are unlikely to be a straight swap — shroud sizing, connector type, and motor speed ratings can all differ between engine families. Always match by engine code first; your engine code will be on your V5C or available from a VIN check. Give the breaker both your registration and your engine code so they can pull a fan from a matching engine rather than just a matching fuel type.

Trim level — whether S, LX, SE, XT, or any other 307 grade — does not affect radiator fan fitment at all, as this is a mechanical part that follows the engine, not the badge. A fan from a base-spec S with the same engine code as your SE is just as suitable as one from a higher trim. The breaker will simply need your engine code and year to find the right match, so don't worry about sourcing a fan from a like-for-like trim.

The 2004 307 sits in the pre-facelift generation (2001–2005), and because the 307 sold in large numbers in the UK, breakers generally have good stocks of parts from this era. The fan you need will be tied to your specific engine code, so identifying that — from your V5C or a VIN check — will help the breaker locate the right unit quickly. Findapart lets you request quotes from multiple dismantlers at once, which is the most efficient way to find a used fan for this age of car.

Gearbox type can influence the cooling demands placed on the fan assembly, and in some cases the fan specification or wiring differs between manual and automatic variants of the same engine, so it is worth telling the breaker whether your 307 is manual or automatic. The engine code remains the primary matching factor, but mentioning the gearbox type gives the breaker an extra detail to verify compatibility. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain the unit they have suits your specific drivetrain combination.

Body style does not affect radiator fan fitment on the 307 — the fan assembly is determined by the engine, not whether the car is a hatchback, estate, or convertible. A fan from any body style with the same engine code is worth considering. Just confirm the engine code matches and let the breaker verify the part against your registration before purchasing.
