Detailed Description

The Gates FCM116 is an engine cooling fan module used in vehicles equipped with electronically controlled cooling fans. By managing fan speed based on cooling demand, the module helps the system maintain temperature control without running the fan harder than necessary. This supports efficient operation in daily driving and under changing engine loads. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 902-436 for the same application.

Compatible With 2003-2009 Audi A4, N/A; 2003-2009 Audi A4 Quattro, N/A; 2002-2004 Audi A6, N/A; 2002-2004 Audi A6 Quattro, N/A; and 2002 Audi A4 and Audi A4 Quattro with a 600w fan. The Gates FCM116 part number is also referenced as 8E0959501AG in OE listings.

What It Helps Address

• Cooling fan not responding to temperature changes
• Fan speed control problems that affect coolant temperature stability
• Intermittent electric fan operation
• Overactive fan operation that can increase electrical load
• Fault codes related to cooling fan control on supported Audi models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, pin count, and harness routing before installation. Confirm the vehicle application against the listed fitment for your Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, Audi A6, or Audi A6 Quattro. Inspect the fan motor, wiring, and related cooling system components during replacement so the new module is not installed into a system with unresolved electrical or mechanical faults.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this cooling fan module as a replacement control component for electronically managed cooling systems. The FCM116 is built to match the listed OE-style application requirements for the specified Audi fitments.
