Is your front wiper no longer working, stopping mid-sweep or failing to return to its park position? The motor is usually to blame. This front wiper motor, original reference 8K025, is a direct replacement for the part fitted to Aixam minicars from 1997 to 2009, including the first-generation Minauto.
How to check it fits your minicar
The safest way is to start from your vehicle: find its type code (for example VLGC34VBO, or VLGK34VBE for a Minauto) on the registration document or the manufacturer’s plate, and look it up in the compatible models table below. Also compare the shape, mounting points and connector of your motor with the photos and the exploded view (part 3). Not sure? Send us a photo of your motor and your type code and we will check it for you.
