Key Benefits — Why Choose This Wiper Motor & Linkage

• Reliable windscreen clearing in all conditions — Provides proper power and linkage movement so wipers sweep fully, clearing rain, spray, snow or road grime — essential for safe driving in wet UK weather.

• Fixes common wiper-system failures — Addresses issues where wipers don’t move (despite motor noise), move erratically, stop midway, or make grinding/clunking noises — typical of worn or damaged linkage components.

• Ensures smooth, synchronized wiping of both blades — The linkage arms and pivot system restore coordinated motion between the two wiper blades, eliminating uneven wiping or “flutter” that leaves streaks.

• Durable replacement for worn or corroded linkage — Designed as an OEM-style replacement for C3/DS3 wiper systems, this unit replaces worn bushings/joints, rusted rods or failed motor — giving a fresh, long-lasting wiper setup.

• Improves safety & legal compliance — Properly functioning wipers are vital for visibility and may be required for passing inspections or MOT checks; malfunctioning wipers pose safety risks and can lead to test failures.

• Cost-effective full repair instead of repeated fixes — Instead of repeatedly replacing wiper blades or cleaning/repairing partial components, a full motor+linkage swap offers a more durable, comprehensive solution.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What does the wiper motor & linkage assembly do exactly?
A: The assembly consists of a small electric motor plus a set of mechanical linkage arms & pivots. The motor turns a crank arm which translates rotary motion into linear motion via linkage rods — that motion is passed to the wiper arms, making the blades sweep across the windscreen in a synchronized arc.

Q: What are the common signs that the wiper linkage or motor needs replacement?
A: Common symptoms include — the motor sounds like it’s running but the wipers don’t move; wipers stop midway or don’t return to “park” position; grinding, clunking or squeaking noises during wiping; uneven or partial wiping; or wipers moving slowly/jerking.

Q: Is this part compatible with my Citroën C3 or DS3?
A: Yes — this unit is designed for C3 and DS3 models (as per the compatibility list on the product page) and replaces the front wiper motor & linkage assembly. Before ordering, it's always best to confirm with your car’s model year and VIN/old part number to ensure correct fitment.

Q: Can I keep driving if my wiper linkage fails?
A: It’s not recommended — driving with faulty wipers severely reduces visibility in rain or snow, which is dangerous and could result in failing vehicle inspection (e.g. MOT). Proper functioning wipers are essential for safety.

Q: Is replacing the motor & linkage complicated?
A: It’s more involved than changing wiper blades — installing involves removing the wiper linkage assembly from under the bonnet (often under the cowl panel), disconnecting the old motor & linkage, and fitting the new unit. Because this is a full assembly replacement, a professional or experienced DIYer is recommended, especially to ensure correct alignment and secure installation.

Q: What advantages does buying a full new assembly offer vs. replacing just the motor or linkage parts separately?
A: A full assembly replacement ensures all wear-prone components (motor, rods, bushings, pivots) are renewed — reducing risk of recurring issues. Partial repairs may fix symptoms temporarily, but worn linkage bushings or joints often cause failure again. A new assembly gives a more dependable, longer-term solution.
