Description
Windscreen wiper mechanism for the first series of Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo
Overview
This wiper motor and linkage assembly (OEM reference 53565002) is designed for the first-generation Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo. It replaces the complete drive mechanism that moves the wiper arms across the windshield and is suitable for professional workshops and experienced do-it-yourself mechanics looking for a reliable replacement part.
Key Benefits
- Direct fit for first-generation C1 / 107 / Aygo models, reducing installation time.
- Includes motor and linkage for full restoration of wiper function (park position, sweep range).
- Common spare part code 53565002 referenced in many parts catalogs — useful for fast search and ordering.
Function And Symptoms
The wiper mechanism converts the electric motor rotation into the oscillating movement of the wiper arms via a gearbox and linkage. Typical symptoms of a failing mechanism include slow or intermittent wiper movement, grinding or clicking noises, wipers that do not park correctly, or complete loss of movement. Electrical motor failure, seized link joints or worn worm gears are frequent causes.

Compatibility
Fits first-generation models produced in the joint venture platform — commonly referred to as the 2005–2014 Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo. Always verify visual match of mounting points and connector type before installation.
Replacement And Installation
Recommended for experienced technicians or skilled DIYers. Typical replacement steps:
- Park wipers in the service position if available, or mark arm positions before removal.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid short circuits when handling electrical connectors.
- Remove wiper arms (often secured by nuts hidden under caps), then remove the scuttle/cowl covers to access the motor and linkage.
- Disconnect the electrical connector and unbolt the motor/linkage assembly from the body.
- Install new mechanism, secure mounting bolts to manufacturer torque, reconnect electrical connector and refit covers and wiper arms.
- Set wiper park position and test full sweep and intermittent functions. Adjust arm positions if necessary.
Installation Recommendations
- Always disconnect the battery before working on electrical components to prevent short circuits and unintended activation.
- Inspect wiper arms, blades and linkage bushes during replacement — worn ancillary parts accelerate failure of the new mechanism.
- Use appropriate tools to avoid damaging plastic covers and trim. Apply threadlocker or correct torque where specified by the manufacturer.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Common failure causes include water ingress and corrosion of the gearbox, wear of the worm gear and bearings, seized linkage joints due to dirt or lack of lubrication, and electrical motor burnout after prolonged heavy use or ice/snow loading. Mechanical shock (e.g., trying to operate wipers while frozen to the glass) significantly shortens lifetime.
