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 chassis number on the registration certificate (box E) or the manufacturer’s plate, and look up its first characters (for example VLGC34VBO, or VLGK34VBE for a Minauto) in the table of compatible models 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 chassis number and we will check it for you.
