Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis
- Model: Citroën Xsara Picasso; Peugeot 307
- Product Codes: 8143LW
- Additional Numbers: NFP
Replacement Procedure
Removal and installation are straightforward for a trained technician or competent DIYer. Typical steps:
- Open the visor and locate retaining screws or plastic clips at the pivot and base.
- Carefully remove any trim covers to access screws; keep fasteners for reinstallation.
- Unscrew or unclip the pivot bracket and slide the visor off the mounting pin.
- Transfer any components (clips, mirror covers) from the old visor if required.
- Fit the replacement by aligning the pivot, pressing onto the mounting pin, and re-securing screws or clips.
- Check operation: smooth movement, secure locking in stowed and lowered positions.
Installation Recommendations
- Work On A Cool Interior: Heat-softened trims are easier to remove without damage.
- Use Correct Tools: Small Torx or Phillips drivers and plastic trim tools prevent damage to clips and trim.
- Inspect Mounting Points: Replace broken clips or brittle brackets to ensure long-term fitment.
- Verify Mirror/Cover Function: If the visor includes a vanity mirror or light, check and secure connectors where applicable.
Common Failure Causes
Sun visors typically fail due to mechanical wear rather than electrical faults. Common reasons include:
- Broken Or Worn Hinge/Pivot: Repeated use and UV exposure cause plastic pivots to become brittle and fracture.
- Damaged Clips Or Mounts: Stress from improper removal or impact can break retention clips.
- Fabric Wear And Soiling: Long-term sun exposure and contact lead to fading, staining, or delamination of the covering material.
- Mirror Or Cover Damage: If equipped, vanity mirrors and their lids can crack or loosen with age.
Using the correct OEM reference (8143LW) and checking mounting condition before installation helps avoid rework. This replacement part offers a cost-effective way to restore functionality and cabin appearance for Citroën Xsara Picasso and Peugeot 307 vehicles.
