Audi A4 B8 A5 Q5 2008–2015 12V Engine Cooling Fan Assembly 8K0121207A

Product overview

This engine cooling fan assembly is a replacement for Audi A4 B8 models from 2008 to 2015 and related platforms, referenced to OE number 8K0121207A. It combines a plastic fan and shroud with a metal-bodied electric motor, drawing air across the radiator and condenser when the car is stationary or moving slowly. Replacing a noisy, seized or intermittently working fan helps prevent overheating and keeps the air-conditioning effective.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Isolate the battery before work begins. Access normally requires lowering or removing front-end components, unplugging the fan control connector and releasing the shroud from the radiator. Electrical cooling parts should be fitted by a qualified technician, who can also run a diagnostic check to confirm the fan responds to control commands.

Fitment checks before ordering

Fan wattage and connector design can vary by engine and climate package. Compare 8K0121207A with the label on your existing fan and confirm with your VIN before ordering, particularly for quattro, hybrid and performance variants.

Package inclusions

1 x engine cooling fan assembly as pictured. Mounting hardware is not included unless stated.
