What It Helps Address

• Cooling fan not responding correctly to temperature changes
• Fan speed control problems
• Engine temperature fluctuations caused by poor fan regulation
• Electrical control issues in the cooling fan circuit
• Overworking of the cooling fan due to module failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, pin count, and housing dimensions before installation. This module uses a female 4-pin connector and does not include a wire harness, so the existing vehicle harness must match the original configuration. Confirm the vehicle application by year, model, and fan specification before replacing the original unit.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures cooling system control components for vehicles that use electronically managed fan operation. FCM129 is built with a metal housing and application-specific connector layout to support proper fitment on listed Audi A6 and Audi A6 Quattro models.
