Here's a video demonstrating how to replace the windshield wiper motors on a Citroen C5 X7 tourer.
On this car the front wipers motor are a common issue, causing the windshield wiper to stop functioning properly. Other symptoms include them working just one side, making a clunking noise, not returning to the home position, or them being out of time, causing them to collide.
This video shows you step by step how to remove and replace the windshield wiper arms, transmission and motor assembly.
The windshield arms are first removed by loosening the 16mm nut at their pivot point. They can then be pried up and off of their splines.
Next, the plastic windshield cowl, which sits below the windshield needs to be removed. Its just held in by clips. Remove both the left and right sides for easier access.
Once the plastic is out of the way, three 10mm boltson each motor can be removed to free the windshield wiper motor assembly from the vehicle's body. The electrical connector can then be disconnected.
It is very important to align the timing marks on the wipers when reassembling the unit.
This was demonstrated on a 2009 Citroen C5 tourer, and is the same procedure for all 2008 onward C5 models.

Thanks very much!
Great tutorial, happy to say with your help, I managed to replace both sides, and they are working fine! I'm no mechanic, so I was chuffed to bits when they started working 👌🏾. Thanks again 👊🏾👍🏾
Thank you 👍
Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to create this video. Really helpful.
👍
If you're one of the people this didn't work for but got the motivation to do this from this video like myself. Here's what I to mine did after messing about with it when it didn't work.
So, I took out the new wiper motors I just bought from the car after I've installed them and they're not working.
Reinstalled the old ones that weren't working into the car and left them hanging out...i.e...i didn't attach the wiper blades and whatnots just yet...
Connected the battery and started the car engine...
Turned on the wipers, even though they were still the old bad ones... wasn't working yet..
Unplugged the first old wiper motor, plugged in the new one.... unplugged the 2nd old wiper motor and plugged in the new one...
Then the wiper motor shafts started oscillating.
I didn't risk taking out the plugs again... haha!
Squeezed the motors back into their holes and attached the wiper blades.
I was overwhelmed because the mechanic quoted a bill of £900 to buy and repair both. Meanwhile I got both for less than £400 on eBay.
Thank you for this video, much appreciated and helped me to a successful change of wiper motors this evening.
You're welcome 👍
Great video man, it will be really helpfull to me as I found today morning my wipes broken down...
Thanks
I have ordered used window motors. Will it be the same procedure for a Peugeot 508 2015 model?
Hi, it's not the exact same but very similar procedure.
@@WhatTube thanks
Hey. Big thanks for taking time and posting the video. I have a question. I am in Norway,so left hand drive. My right passanger wiper is not working properly. When I engage the wipers,the left side is ok,working as it ahould buit the right side make a small move and stay in open high position until I lock the car and unlock after some time. Then it goes back to close position but not working,only this action. Is the UK market and EU market the same sides,meaning the same motors (part number) left and right? Will try to reset BSI,but if no help. I will biy used motor,since new is crazy expensive. Greetings!
Hi, yes I think the UK and EU are same, to be sure check the SW and HW numbers on your motors before buying.
I'm having the exact same problem as you described. Did the BSI reset help or did you have to replace the motors?
@@JotkotGTX560ti hey Karlo. BSI reset didnt work for me. I even removed both of the motors and let them sit inside on warm,and used even extra heat to dry the electric part out. I even opened mechanical part inside and cleaned the rust and what not. Plus I add an extra grease and lubrication since it was all rusted and wet. But unfortunately,I still have the problem. So I order a used motor for the side that was not working. However,that motor was from UK market and when I installed,both wipers didnt work at all. When I installed the old original back,it went back to the same situation,driver side working,passanger didnt.
So my next step is to order both sides motors from the same vehicle,if possible (jus to be in the safe side I guess). Honestly It really upsets me that both are not working.
Lexia is not showing what is the problem,only shows some error.
And justt 1 new motor cost 600 eur!!! 😂
This is Citroen design flaw that many many people have problem with
@@zakrstcasniisloboduzSeems like you've tried it all... I guess the only way is to replace them then. I'll be looking at some used motors for it. Thanks for the detailed reply and I hope you get yours working soon!!
@@JotkotGTX560ti likewise my friend. My advice is,save yourself time and trouble and get the used motors. It is most likely that it will fix the problem. I red many many sites and forums,and 90% of people fixed the problem by replacing motors.
I have a friend who had the same issue,he only took apart and dryied motors,and applied some silicone around plastic with mechanism and it did work for him. However his C5 is around 200k km. My C5 2009 Exclusive is at 320k km,so I guess replacement is a must.
All the best my friend,and feel free to keep me updated with your situation. Best regards!
Nice job and good video. Do the both motor die att same time? I have a similar problem. My left side going up then stuck. And only right side Working but slowly. This happens sometimes and sometimes its work fine. Now both dead. What you think to be the problem? Thanks!
Thanks very much, mine was doing same as yours, I tried to replace only the left motor but with no luck, so I bought the right one as well and replaced both.
I think the problem is with the right side motor, but is better to check it with lexia.
WhatTube thanks bro. Gonna change them both too. To expensive here in Sweden. The used one coast 150€ its about 120£ each 🤔
Yes I know they are expensive.
Good luck!
Hey. Thanks for the video.. I just replaced one side,only one was bad,and now both are not working. Any catch? Thanks!
Hi,
You should check the HW and SW numbers, if they are different from each other most probably they'll not work.
@@WhatTube I checked Hw and SW and they match,the same 3.0 amd 1.2. But i just red somewhere on forum,if one motor is for europen mrker and other from UK market,they wont work... This is my case... My left is original and i just fitted used right side fron UK vehicle.. Do you think it is possible? Thanks for your time....
@@zakrstcasniisloboduz take care, that driver arm is always over the passanger arm. So it look different in EU and UK. You shouldn't mix the drives. (one UK one EU). The arm movement control works different...
Hello. I change left motor with new one and now left wiper moves with low stroke, but right is dead. So left is new and right is used. If it start to work correct if I change right motor with new one?
thank you for this tutorial! the only one in the internet ! :)))
👍
Spot on that will help me loads
👍
Thank you!
Hi, my front sceen wiper stopped working yesterday, both. The fuse is ok. I see and read that there are two motors. So when both stops at the same time, could it be relay?
Hi,
Yes it can be the relay, but most probably it's one of the motor.
@@WhatTubeSo both motors stop when one breaks down?
Most of the time yes
@@pergody3538 I don' think so...Both of them have independent motors and position control..I've replaced both of them, and both stoped work properly "step by step". But second wind screen arm worked same time properly. So I think your problem is different...
Great job!
Thanks very much.
Great video thank you very much for showing how to do this I'm going to do it myself ..
Thanks, I'm happy that you are going to do it by yourself, it's not difficult at all.
@@WhatTube cheers m8. .my left-hand wiper has stopped working so fingers crossed the new one will work. .do i have to do a bis to reset them?
You don't need to reset them, make sure that the hardware and software version of both the motor's is same.
@@WhatTube ok thanks m8. .how do I check that?
It's written SW and HW on the label on both motor's
What a great video Followed the steps, however the driver's side was a bit of a pig to replace as there isn't much wiggle room. So grateful for this cost £125 for the drivers side.
👍
Hi Alistair. Did you buy a used motor from e-bay?
@@matteopellegri8913 Hi Matteo, yes there were a few on there for around £120. Some C5s are listed for breaking so my advice is check to see if they have that part.
when you remove the front plastic cover then you had one or two water runners? I means the black plastic part with rubber hose. Thanks
Hi,
No they're no rubber hoses attached to the plastic cover.
@@WhatTube The part what I means is under the plastic cover. Can I send you e-mail with photo the part?
I done this video almost one year ago so I don't remember if there was some part whit rubber hoses, anyway all the parts that I removed are in the video.
Thanks
I found also only one, directed to not-driver-side. It is hanging loose
thankyou
You're welcome 👍
Thanks for share this video helps a lot, but i have another problem in my C5 2008 1.6 HDI 80kw , my windshield wiper stop working and i think is the fuse ou the relay, but i dont no how to check, i already check the fuses inside and the does close to the engine but i dont find nothing wrong but the relays i just check the one above the ECU.
Do you have any idea what can be?
sorry about my english hahahaha
I think is one of the two motors, if you want to test a relay you have to apply current on specific pins then if you hear a "tik" that's mean is in good working order.
It's little bit difficult to explain but is very easy to do it.
Try to google it, it's much easier to understand with a picture.
Have you tested the relay? Where is located?
Hi. Did you found what the problem was?
Did you replace old motors with new?
No I replaced the old motors with used ones but in good working order. When you buying the motors make sure that the SW and HW codes are matching.
Why have you got to roll window down and key out and remove battery?
Because they have electric connections so is better to unplug the battery terminal first, and for the window and the key because this car have a BSI so every time you disconnect the battery is better to perform a "BSI reset", that's why in this way you already done half procedure to do the BSI reset.
Check my other video where I show how to perform a BSI reset.
Thanks.
