Vehicle Reference & Fitment
This replacement HVAC heater flap motor / vent actuator is removed from and designed to fit PSA group vehicles equipped with the 1.6 HDi (Engine Code: 9HR) 2009-2013 (compatible with Citroen / Peugeot configurations).

Where is this part fitted & What does it do?
This electric heater flap motor / vent actuator is mounted deep behind the dashboard directly on the HVAC Heater Matrix Box / Climate Control Unit. It controls the mechanical blender flaps that direct airflow between the windscreen defrost, face vents, footwells, and regulates cabin temperature blending (Hot/Cold mix).
Part Details & Symptoms of Failure
Material Construction: Precision electric step-motor housed within a durable industrial ABS polymer casing featuring internal nylon drive gears and an electrical multi-pin harness connector.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Heater Flap Motor:
- Constant clicking, ticking, or snapping noises coming from behind the dashboard when adjusting climate controls.
- Air stuck blowing exclusively through one set of vents (e.g., only windscreen or only floor) regardless of dash button settings.
- Failure to switch between hot and cold air (stuck on maximum heat or freezing cold).
- Climate control computer fault codes logged for actuator positioning errors.

By purchasing a quality, original recycled factory part (Part No: Z5509001), you guarantee 100% plug-and-play synchronization—plus you can save as much as 70% compared to main dealer prices!
