OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi 7H4-906-234 is an individual four-pin connector housing for the original radiator cooling-fan circuit on the confirmed applications below. It provides the original housing and locking arrangement for the compatible fan connection.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: 7H4-906-234 / 7H4906234.
- Connector housing: four-pin, black.
- Application: matching original radiator cooling-fan electrical connection.
- Quantity supplied: one bare connector housing.
- Electrical terminals, terminal seals, repair wires, complete wiring harness and cooling fan are separately specified repair components.
The archive photo shows the housing, locking features and connector profile. Match the original part number, cavity layout and mating connector before ordering. Four terminal positions alone do not establish interchangeability with a different housing. This component is not a prewired replacement pigtail or a complete fan assembly.
Common reasons to replace
- A broken connector latch allows the original connection to loosen.
- The housing is cracked or damaged during fan or wiring service.
- Heat damage or distortion prevents correct seating of the original terminals.
- A diagnosed connector repair requires replacement of the damaged housing.
Check the terminals and wiring separately. Discolored, overheated, corroded or loose terminals may require additional repair parts; moving damaged contacts into a replacement housing will not correct that fault. Diagnose fan operation before replacing a connector, since a fan motor, power-supply, wiring or control problem requires its own repair.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory electrical isolation and cooling-fan service procedure before disconnecting the circuit. The fan must be made safe against unexpected operation during the repair.
Record the original wire-to-cavity locations before releasing any terminals. Use the specified terminal-release tools and replacement contacts or repair wires for the circuit; do not infer a pinout from the housing part number.
Inspect the mating connection and harness for heat damage and confirm correct terminal retention, seal placement and locking-feature engagement after assembly. Route and secure the wiring according to the repair information so it cannot contact moving parts or hot surfaces.
Complete the factory circuit and fan-operation checks after reassembly. Use the vehicle repair information for terminal specifications, test limits and any required diagnostic procedure.
