  Q: How to remove and refit Windshield Wiper Motors and Wiper Linkage assembly on Volvo V40?

  A:

  The first step to remove the wiper motor is to remove the wiper arms. Next, take off all fasteners and try to unclip the wiper linkage cover panel from the base of the windscreen carefully. Using a large, flat-bladed screwdriver, carefully lever the wiper linkage off the motor crank balljoint. For right-hand-drive models, for better access to the motor, remove the cover from the fuse/relay box, then undo the retaining bolts to free the box from the body. On all models, remove the motor cover and the motor wiring connector of the wiper motor. Slacken and remove the four bolts holding the motor mounting plate to the bulkhead, then manoeuvre the assembly out of the car defending the mounting rubbers for damage or deterioration. In order to separate the motor from the mounting plate, make alignment marks between the motor crank and the mounting plate, slacken and remove the motor spindle nut, prevent rotation if necessary. Remove the crank and then undo the three mounting bolts to separate the motor and mounting plate. For refitting, where necessary, refit the motor to the mounting plate and tighten the mounting bolts well. Refit the crank to the motor - aligning the marks made before removal - and tighten the spindle nut to the specified torque. Reconnect the wiring connector and run the motor a few times before fitting it back. Manoeuver motor assembly in place and tighten bolts on mounting plate. Reconnect the wiring connector to the motor and firmly clip the linkage back onto the motor crank balljoint. Finally reattach the wiper motor cover panel and the wiper arms. For the wiper linkage, after carrying out necessary operations, slacken and remove the nuts holding the wiper spindle mountings to the body, manoeuvring the linkage assembly out. Inspect the linkage assembly for wear and renew it if required. To refit, move the linkage assembly into position and refit retaining nuts, making sure that the spindle mountings are correctly positioned before tightening the nuts to the specified torque setting. Securely clip the linkage back onto the motor, crank balljoint then refit the wiper motor cover panel and wiper arms.
