Description
Antenna for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles with rear window washer nozzle. It is for the Citroën C5 first generation.
Product Overview
This roof/boot antenna assembly with integrated rear washer nozzle is an OEM-style replacement designed for Citroën C5 (first generation) owners and professional technicians. Supplied under part references 9650910980 / 6561Y0 / 6561A0, the unit restores reliable radio reception and the rear glass washer function in a single compact module. Ideal for automechanics and DIY enthusiasts who search by part number.
Function and Benefits
- Primary Function: Provide FM/AM radio reception for the vehicle while housing the rear washer nozzle for the rear window.
- Integrated Design: Combines antenna and washer outlet to reduce external fittings and maintain factory appearance.
- Benefits: Restores signal quality, prevents water ingress behind the headliner when properly installed, and returns the washer spray to factory position.
How It Is Replaced
Replacement is straightforward for a trained technician: remove the interior trim of the tailgate/roof area to access the antenna base, disconnect the electrical connector and the washer hose, unscrew the retaining nuts or bolts, remove the old unit and fit the new antenna with a new seal. Reconnect the washer hose and the electrical connector, secure fasteners to the correct torque, reassemble trim and test radio reception and washer operation. Always ensure wiring is not pinched and that the seal sits flush to avoid water ingress.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the vehicle battery before working on electrical connectors to avoid short circuits.
- Use new sealing gasket or sealant if the old one is damaged to maintain watertightness.
- Check and, if necessary, clean or replace the washer hose and nozzle to ensure proper spray pattern.
- Verify radio reception and rear washer function after installation; adjust antenna mast position if adjustable.
- Fasten mounting hardware to manufacturer torque specifications where available.
Why This Part Fails
Common failure modes include water ingress and corrosion at the base or connector, mechanical damage to the mast or washer nozzle, clogged washer jet or hose, and degraded seals that allow moisture into the connector or cable. Electrical connector corrosion and damaged coaxial cable can cause poor or intermittent radio reception. Exposure to road salts and long-term UV/weathering accelerates deterioration.
