Window Wipers Doin My Head In!

[Beeejayteee]

Got c5 but wipers keep losing synchronisation then suddenly the passenger one flips up and stops working until you stop the leave it a while and then when you open the door it resets itself only to do it the next time you use them. Can anyone help please?

From your other topic your car is a 2009 c5 2ltr vtr+nav.

 

Front wiper motor failure is a common problem on this model and is mentioned on the C5 Technical section Common Problems pinned topic. Water gets inside them and messes everything up. You may be able to repair them but replacement ones may be needed - there are 2, one for each side but are about £300 each from memory.

Just had my wipers go belly up on my 58 plate tourer. Stopped completely on mine turned out to be the right hand motor. Removed both motors opened the back found right one had let water in. Replace with a 2nd hand unit for £70 as new ones came in at £250.

 

You might get lucky if you open it up and find its wet and dry it out and reseal. Since yours are both kind of working but id budget to replace at-least 1
