Description
Electric motor for the right front window regulator for Citroën C4 first generation, passenger door.
This replacement window motor restores reliable power-window operation on the passenger (right front) door of the Citroën C4 (first generation). Frequently searched under part numbers 9647442180 and 9222AV, the unit is suitable for mechanics and experienced DIYers who need a direct, practical repair solution. Designed to integrate with the original regulator assembly, this motor addresses common faults such as slow or intermittent movement, grinding noises, or a window that will not stay up.
Key Benefits
- Direct Fit For Citroën C4 I Passenger Front Door — simplifies installation for garages and home mechanics.
- Restores Smooth Window Operation — eliminates grinding, slow travel, and intermittent failures when the regulator and wiring are in good condition.
- Commonly Identified By Part Numbers — customers often search using 9647442180 or 9222AV for quick identification.
- Practical Choice For Repair Jobs — saves time compared with replacing the entire regulator when the motor alone is the fault.

Installation Recommendation
Suitable for experienced technicians and skilled DIYers. Typical installation time: 30–90 minutes depending on experience and condition of the door internals.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning work to avoid accidental window movement or short circuits.
- Remove Door Trim: Carefully remove the door card and any trim panels. Keep fasteners and clips organized.
- Access Regulator: Peel back the vapor barrier and support the glass (tape or suction support) to prevent it from falling when the motor or regulator is released.
- Disconnect Electrical Connector: Unplug the motor wiring harness before unbolting the motor from the regulator.
- Remove Motor: Unbolt the motor from the regulator assembly and remove it. Inspect the regulator tracks, cables, and mounting points for wear or damage.
- Fit Replacement: Mount the new motor to the regulator, reconnect the electrical connector, then briefly reconnect the battery to test up/down function and track alignment before reassembling.
- Final Steps: Once operation is confirmed and the window travels smoothly, disconnect the battery again, refit the vapor barrier and door trim, reconnect the battery, and perform a final functional check.
- Tip: Use a small amount of appropriate lubricant on the regulator tracks and dielectric grease on electrical connectors to improve longevity and reliability.
Why This Part Fails
- Water Ingress And Corrosion: Moisture entering the door can corrode gears and electrical contacts, causing motor failure.
- Wear Of Internal Brushes And Gears: Over years of use, brushes wear and plastic/metal gears can degrade, leading to slow operation or grinding noises.
- Mechanical Overload: Jammed or misaligned glass, damaged regulator cables or tracks, or excessive force can overload and burn out the motor.
- Electrical Issues: Faulty wiring, poor connector contact, or a worn switch can cause intermittent or no operation, sometimes incorrectly attributed to the motor.
Typical Symptoms
- Window Moves Slowly Or With Grinding Noise
- Window Does Not Move Or Moves Intermittently
- Window Drops Down Or Does Not Stay Up
Practical Advice
- Always Inspect The Regulator Mechanism: If the regulator is bent or cables are frayed, replace or repair the regulator as well — a new motor fitted to a damaged regulator often fails prematurely.
- Check Wiring And Switches: Confirm power and ground at the motor connector before replacing the motor to avoid unnecessary replacements.
- Storage And Handling: Keep the unit dry and protected from impacts; avoid powering the motor when it is unmounted and the gearbox is exposed.
This motor is a practical replacement option for restoring the right front window function on Citroën C4 first-generation cars. Use proper tools and standard workshop safety procedures for best results.
