Detailed Description

VDO FA70982 is an engine cooling fan assembly engineered for specific vehicle fitment, including 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman and 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman. The assembly uses a black plastic shroud, plastic/aluminum blade material, and a 15.390-inch fan diameter to support stable airflow through the radiator area. VDO manufactures these components in ISO TS certified facilities and builds them to OE-level standards used by global automakers. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 620-911 and Genuine 17427535100 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Engine temperature rise from a weak or inoperative cooling fan
• Reduced airflow through the radiator at idle or low speed
• Noise caused by worn fan motor components
• Cooling system performance loss from damaged fan blades or shroud
• Electrical issues tied to a failed plug-in fan assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and fan rotation before installation. This assembly uses a plug-in connection with a 3-terminal male blade interface and does not include a wiring harness or control unit. Confirm clearance, mounting points, and dimensions against the original unit on the vehicle before final assembly.
