Just in case anyone else comes up against this one I got the part number I mentioned in my earlier message (1267J6 / 9827870080) and it fit with no issues - resolved the issue with the fan coming on and was a doddle to fit.

Some photos of the old / new part for comparison as well as some shots of where it fits in case it helps anyone in the future.

I used eBay seller "NeatCarParts" - service was fast, pricing was on a par with sellers pretending to be in the UK but actually in China, around £12.00.

Listing details will change in the future but at the time of writing this is active:

Pardon our interruption...

(if it disappears just look up 9827870080 in his listings for the latest one)

Update - August 2022 - I've just noticed that "Neat Car Parts" are now selling this sensor for £34.99 rather than the ~£12.00 I paid

If anyone finds other sources please feel free to share them here for those affected in the future, searching "9827870080" on eBay does bring up other cheaper ones but I can't comment on what the quality is like... that said the expensive OEM one is clearly rubbish so what have you got to lose?

Thanks for the information I had already bought the part before finding your post, but your photos were very helpful

No problem at all, I couldn't find anything similar online when I was looking for an indication on where the sensor lived so I thought I'd take a few photos in case they might be useful to others, I'm glad they were

fter much searching I could not find the part number for the relay as the numbers on it are not the part number. The steeler relieved me of £90 to find out you can pay as little as £12 for one. On our 1.6 cactus100 hdi as soon as you pressed the Ac button the engine fault light came on and the code reader said there was a fault to ground.
Part number is 9827870080 and the relay has 98372a 01 moulded on it .
Hope this helps someone

That's a shame - I tried to share the numbers I had and links to the cheaper ones as soon I found them, it's unbelievable that the main dealers are happy to sell a part for £90 that others can sell on, and still make a profit, at nearly 1/10th of that.

It's the people paying the £90 and for an hour of labour for it fitting I feel most sorry for.

Hello,
I came across this thread as the radiator fan on my wife's Cactus seemed to be running at high speed almost constantly.
Got one of these sensors from Ebay last week & fitted it with the help of this post which seems to have fixed the issue.
Is there an easy way to test the fan / sensor to make sure it's working as I've not heard the fan come on at all. I left the car idling on my drive for over an hour but nothing, no fan & no excess temperature message etc.
Any tips?
Thanks.

With the weather as it is at the moment I would imagine the fan won't be doing a lot of work but a broken sensor would have seen it coming on even when it didn't need to - I'm sure there's ways to trick it into activating (beyond the realms of my knowledge, I hate electrics) but I'd just take it as you having done a good job and see what the warm weather brings

my car is Citroen C4 2010, will this fit for my car?

You might need a different part number to the one for the Cactus but the process should be similar.
