Detailed Description

The Hayden 6201 fan clutch is a thermal engine cooling fan clutch designed for select Kia Sportage models from 2001 and 2002. It uses a standard-duty, non-electronic design with a flange mount, 4 bolt holes, and a 6.03-inch fan bolt circle for proper alignment in the cooling fan assembly. The severe-duty and truck fan drive style reflects a durable construction approach for controlled fan engagement under load. This part cross-references Dorman HELP 46065 and Gates 22373 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn Kia Sportage fan clutch or servicing a cooling system that no longer maintains consistent fan drive, Hayden 6201 provides the correct thermal fan clutch configuration for these vehicles.

What It Helps Address

• Cooling fan engagement that is delayed or inconsistent
• Excessive fan noise from a worn clutch assembly
• Engine temperature control issues caused by reduced fan drive
• Cooling performance loss in standard-duty thermal systems
• Replacement needs for a damaged or aging fan clutch on a Kia Sportage

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the mounting pattern, pilot dimensions, fan bolt circle, and standard rotation before installation. This Hayden 6201 uses a 4-bolt flange mount with M6 x 1.0 hole thread and does not include mounting hardware. Confirm the vehicle’s cooling fan setup matches the 2001-2002 Kia Sportage fitment details, including the 2001 Sportage from 6/21/01 onward.

Quality Assurance

Hayden identifies this fan clutch as a new, performance-rated replacement that meets or exceeds OEM requirements. The Hayden Fan Clutch line is built for direct replacement use in cooling system service, with application-specific fitment for the listed Kia Sportage models.
