Windscreen wiper fault

[mrcol]

Hi All,

I have a 2001 diesel 406 HDI 110. Recently the windscreen wipers have developed a fault.

The auto sensor function is not working and if you select any other function they wipers will work for about 10 wipes then just stop. sometime halfway through the wipe.

Any ideas what could be causing it and is it a self fixable fault?

I have tried to get a Haynes manual for this model but they don't seem to exist any more.

Any help is much appreciated.

No you don't, you're about 10 years too early

The auto sensor function is not working and if you select any other function they wipers will work for about 10 wipes then just stop. sometime halfway through the wipe.

I'm thinking your wiper motor could be shot. Try putting it on then see how easy it is to stop it with your hand (be careful though)
As for the auto function, turn it on at night and see if you can see a (very) faint light coming from the sensor at the top of the windscreen

I have tried to get a Haynes manual for this model but they don't seem to exist any more.

Halfords, amazon, motor mania... Should be able to pick one up from anywhere. Red=1996-1999, Green=1999-2004.

Apologies, it is a 2001 HDI 110. Sorry my brain melted a little whilst I was writing this post.
