Faulty windshield wipers and warning light on Citroen C8 Diesel 2004

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Fault stored

Wipers don't work properly

Hi folks, I currently have a problem with my 2004 Citroen C8 Diesel with 186,684km on the clock. The windshield wipers are causing trouble, the warning light in the speedometer is flashing and somehow an error is stored. I think the relay for the windshield wipers might be faulty - have any of you ever had a problem like this? After my last disastrous visit to the garage, I've become a bit cautious. What are your experiences with garages with similar problems? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello, I had a similar problem with my 2007 Citroen Berlingo Diesel. My relay was defective, just as you suspect. It had to be replaced, otherwise the wipers could have kept spinning. My experiences with garages have been mostly positive. It sounds complicated, but a relay fault is a fairly common problem and most garages should be able to deal with it. So I would definitely recommend taking the car to the garage. Hopefully my experience will help you!

Hey, thanks for your answer! I'm glad I wasn't that far off the mark with my suspicions. Can you tell me how much it cost you to have the problem fixed? And has anything else similar occurred since then or have the wipers given up? Your experience will definitely help me, thank you!

Hey, no problem, I'm happy to help! So, I paid €375 for the repair of the relay fault at the time. That may sound a bit expensive at first, but I haven't had any more problems with the wipers since then - so it was definitely a worthwhile investment. Believe me, since the visit to the workshop, the thing has calmed down and the fault was rectified. So, yes I can tell you that I haven't experienced anything similar since. Good luck with your car, hopefully it's nothing serious!

Hey, great! That sounds like a worthwhile investment. Then the price won't put me off going to the garage so much. You've really helped me and eased my concerns a bit. Let's hope it's just the relay in my case and the costs stay under control. Thanks again for your valuable tips and experience. Have a nice day!
