Headlight wiper motor repair/replace?

Everything on the Volvo S80. Sometimes called an "executive car", the S80 was Volvo's top-of-the-line passenger car. P2 platform.

Headlight wiper motor repair/replace?

Post by emk »

I recently noticed that my passenger side headlamp wiper doesn't work. I've had a look in the repair database and I did find a post, however it links to an external site which 404's.

Anybody have any advice on how to remove the motor and check it out?

It would appear that you start by removing the back wheels. Just joking, but you do have to remove lots of bits.

This is from VADIS. If you need anything expanded that I may have missed let me know.

Wow. Might as well start with the back wheels. All that just to get to a crappy little motor unit. Fun times ahead. Thanks Bill :)
