Vauxhall Tigra Radiator Fan Replacement Parts

The Vauxhall Tigra uses a front-wheel-drive layout with a transversely mounted engine, and like most modern front-wheel-drive cars it relies on an electric cooling fan rather than a traditional engine-driven fan — so yes, a radiator fan (electric) does exist on this model. Both the original Tigra (based on the Corsa B, roughly 1994–2001) and the Tigra Twin Top (based on the Corsa C, roughly 2004–2009) were fitted with an electric radiator cooling fan. If you are searching for a viscous or belt-driven fan, that part was never fitted to the Tigra.

These are two distinct generations — the original Tigra and the later Tigra Twin Top — built on different platforms (Corsa B and Corsa C respectively), so the radiator fans are not the same unit and will not interchange. You should only be searching within the correct generation for your car. Confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

Yes — engine code is the most important detail for getting the right fan, as different engines (for example the 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8 petrol units available across the Tigra range) can have different cooling requirements and fan specifications. The engine code is shown on your V5 or can be found via a VIN check, and it is the single most useful piece of information you can give a breaker when requesting a quote. Do not rely on engine size alone, as the same displacement can cover more than one code.

Gearbox type can affect cooling fan specification on some variants because automatic transmissions generate additional heat and may require a higher-capacity fan or an additional transmission cooler fan. It is worth telling the breaker your gearbox type alongside your engine code when requesting a quote, to make sure you receive the correct unit for your car.

No — trim level does not affect radiator fan fitment on the Tigra. Whether your car is a base, Sport, or any other trim, the cooling fan is determined by the engine code and gearbox type, not the trim designation. Any cosmetic differences between trim levels are irrelevant to this mechanical part.

Because both the original Tigra (1994–2001) and the Tigra Twin Top (2004–2009) share their platforms and engines with the contemporary Corsa B and Corsa C respectively, there is a reasonable chance of overlap in cooling fan parts — but ancillary and mounting details can vary between models built on the same platform. Always confirm compatibility against your specific registration and engine code with the breaker rather than assuming a Corsa fan will be a direct fit.
