Description
Wiper mechanism for the first series of Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo
Product Overview
Used wiper mechanism compatible with first-generation Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo. Ideal replacement for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts looking for a direct-fit solution often searched by part numbers. Restores reliable park position and synchronized movement of both front wipers.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis / Citroën / Peugeot
- Model: Citroën C1 (First Series), Peugeot 107 (First Series), Toyota Aygo (First Series)
- Product Codes: 85010-0H010, 6405T0
- Additional Numbers: Compatible OE-type linkages and motors for platform shared models (check printed code on part)
Function And Fitment
The wiper mechanism (linkage and motor assembly) transfers the electric motor’s rotation into the oscillating motion of the wiper arms, ensuring correct sweep, park position and timing. This unit is a direct fit for the shared small-car platform used by Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo first-generation models. It mounts under the scuttle panel and connects to the wiper arms and the vehicle electrical connector.
Common Failure Reasons
- Mechanical Wear: Bushings and joints wear over time, causing play, uneven sweep or loss of movement.
- Corrosion: Water ingress and rust on pivots or mounting points lead to stiff or seized linkage.
- Motor Issues: Brushes and internal gears of the motor can fail after many years of use, producing noise or no motion.
- Electrical Problems: Corroded connectors or damaged wiring cause intermittent operation or total failure.
Replacement Guide
Basic Steps For Removal And Installation (recommended for experienced DIY or professional mechanics):
- Set Wipers To Park Position And Switch Ignition Off. Remove Key From Ignition.
- Remove Wiper Arms: Pry off the securing caps and remove the nut retaining the arms; pull arms straight off the splines.
- Remove Scuttle/Cowl Cover: Undo fasteners and carefully lift the scuttle to access the mechanism.
- Disconnect Electrical Connector: Unplug the motor connector and any ground straps.
- Unbolt Mechanism: Remove mounting bolts and free the linkage/motor assembly from the vehicle.
- Fit New Unit: Position unit, tighten mounting bolts to manufacturer torque, reconnect electrical connector and re-fit scuttle and wiper arms in correct park alignment.
- Test Operation: Cycle the wipers through all speeds and washer functions, verifying correct sweep and park position. Re-torque nuts after test if required.
Installation Recommendations
- Align Wiper Arms Correctly: Ensure arms are set to the correct park position before final tightening to avoid incorrect rest position or motor overload.
- Lubricate Moving Joints: Apply suitable grease to pivots and sliding points to extend life and reduce noise.
- Protect Electrical Connectors: Clean corroded terminals and use dielectric grease to prevent future corrosion.
- Use Correct Tools: Use appropriate spanners and a torque wrench where specified to avoid damaging splines or threads.
- Safety Precautions: Switch ignition off and remove key; if working near multiple electrical systems, consider isolating the battery to avoid accidental activation.
Why Replace And Service Interval
Wiper mechanisms are wear items that often last many years but can fail due to environmental exposure and frequent use. Replacement is typically required when you observe intermittent movement, unusual noises, excessive play in the wipers, or when the wipers no longer park correctly. For vehicles in wetter or coastal climates, inspect linkage and motor during regular service intervals (every 2–3 years) and replace when excessive wear or corrosion is present.
Notes For Purchasing
Parts Are Often Searched By Code: 85010-0H010 and 6405T0 are common reference numbers for this mechanism. Always compare the visible code and mounting points to the old unit to confirm fitment before installation.
