how do u replace wiper linkage/motor on a vectra

[paultintin]

hi, i believe my wiper motor has lost the park/home position as whenever i put it in the intermittent position in will only do about half to 3/4 of a stroke also if in full normal mode then turn it off it will stop whereever it wants. i was told its a common fault on them and to replace the motor and linkage as its easier to replace the whole thing rather than just the motor any one with a website that shows how to replace it would be very grateful also are all vectra wiper motor/linkage the same for all models for the vectra B model many thanks

Hi Paul, I replied to you last week, Start by taking the plastic covers over the Wiper arm nuts (They can be a sod to remove from the spline) Lift up your bonnet & look in the direction of the Bulk Head, where the wipe comes through the body there are 2 securing nuts, remove them,There is a plastic trim going from the N/S TO OFF/SIDE remove the screws+ clips that hold that in place hen you will see the 4 nuts/bolts holding it in place on metal plate, Unplug the Elec connector remove the nuts & remove the motor+ linkage, the linkage are kept together by plastic snap cup Ball ( You will see what I mean) the job will take you about a couple of hrs if that, when you replace the trim& motor etc, try the wipers out. if all OK, replace the trim, ( I did not remove the battery lead) Look on EBAY or 247 Motor spares for your motor, But for your Bank account sake do not go to the dealers.
