Product Information

This is a direct fan replacement for all P2 XC90s in aftermarket VDO. Comes with control unit.

Engine Cooling Fan Assembly

The Engine Cooling Fan Assembly is a crucial component of a vehicle’s cooling system. It consists of an electric or mechanical fan, shroud, motor, and related wiring or clutch mechanism. Its main role is to pull or push air through the radiator to regulate coolant temperature, especially when the vehicle is idling or moving at low speeds where natural airflow is limited.

Key functions:

  • Prevents engine overheating by maintaining proper coolant temperature.
  • Assists air conditioning performance by cooling the condenser.
  • Supports overall engine efficiency and longevity.
Engine Cooling Fan Assembly Failure Symptoms
  • Engine overheating – temperature gauge rises, especially in traffic or at idle.
  • Air conditioning performance drops – AC blows warmer air when the fan isn’t running.
  • Fan not turning on – visible when checking under the hood, even when the engine is hot.

VDO Radiator fan 31368075
Put this on a 2008 Volvo XC90 v8. Works, but getting it attached was difficult. It has shrouds projecting from it to the back of the radiator that contact projections from the radiator too tightly, so it was difficult getting the fan in place and lining up the bolt holes at the same time. If you buy this you may want to replace the existing bolts (that hold the top of the fan) with longer ones, which may make it easier to lever them into their holes. Note you can replace this fan without taking the radiator out of the car, by taking out the 2 bolts holding the radiator to the frame. This lowers the radiator (with the fan on it) enough so that the top clears the sheet metal across the top of the whole assembly.

Works great
Had a mechanic put it in, works perfectly. Looks a little different from OEM but I've had no problems

Not the same as original Volvo 3.2, smaller fan blades
I installed this fan and it works. However, the fan blades have less surface area than the original Volvo that it replaced. This one works, but I wonder if the original one pushed more air in the low speed, resulting in less need for the on high. If I had to purchase again, I’d spend extra on the original Volvo one. Buy new mounting screws because one of mine dropped into the abyss during installation as they are difficult to access.
