Still Having wiper problems after fitting BRAND NEW motor, please help - Richbennett83 - 04-02-2013

Hi All So I just bought a phase 3 306 HDi and The wipers are very strange. If you click it down it stops wherever it is when you take your finger off. First click up (intermitent) runs at the slow speed, then stops halfway through cycle after a few wipes, The second click runs as it should. The third click runs fast, then stops in the middle of the screen after a few seconds. Is this the motor? I read somewhere It could be the stalks so I removed it, cleaned and re-lubed it but still the same. If it is the motor, Are they specific to the phase 3? or will a 1 or 2 fit? And does the body shape matter? as mine is an Estate.
Thanks very much to anyone who can shed some light, I'm assuming its the motor and nearly purchased one the other day but then owing to the fat ignorant slob behind the counter, I resisted lol

Not necessarily worth replacing the motor.

If you dismantle the assembly then you'll find that inside the motor there are 3 contact strips or 'fingers', basically over time they get gunked up and the quality of connection makes the wipers somewhat...eratic.

I need to get round to doing mine as it has a little spaz just before coming to a rest at the bottom of the screen.

There is a guide on the other site, but we don't encourage people to go over there....

Thanks dude's I'll try giving it a clean first, would you say petroleum jelly is a good lube to use when cleaned up?


RE: 306 HDi wiper problems... - Richbennett83 - 05-02-2013

Replaced motor, and it still has the same problem, except now the fastest speed doesn't work!! It still doesn't park and the sensor and slow speed are the same. Its really starting to get on my nerves so any more input would be great. COuld it be a relay?


RE: Still Having wiper problems after fitting BRAND NEW motor, please help - Toms306 - 06-02-2013

You could see if the raelays clean or if its covered in green stuff making a poor connection. The relays at the front are usually ok though, its the rear wiper relay that often fails.

Is the replacement motor brand new? If not it could be the motor again........the rain sensor's another possibility.


IIRC there's another relay for the front wipers located behind the fuse board in the dash.


RE: Still Having wiper problems after fitting BRAND NEW motor, please help - Richbennett83 - 06-02-2013

Ta, I think the relays are wrong. The ones in there appear to be a standard 5 pin switchover, shouldn't it be a specific Pug part?
