Fixing the wipers on a Renault Grand Scenic Mk3 (not an EV!) 

thank you for this video we have just had a scenic mk3 which had the motors replaced mechanic never cleaned the scuttle drains so hubby to the rescue 😊 luckily we caught it as the driver side was filling back up with water. Saved us a bunch of money and a headache with this process keep up the good videos

Every scenic owner needs a garage like this 😂

Thanks for this great detailed video. It's saved our 2010 family bus from going to the scrap yard. We manage to purchase a set of wiper motors from eBay for £300. All fitted and working like new again. The guy we bought them from told me it tends to be the passenger side motor which fails, this has the controller circuitry for the wipers. Many thanks 😁

I ev been to dealer and they quoted 469 for part and labour for 1 side after 99.50 for investigation. Thanks for the video, great help

Fitted 2 motors to my Scenic today and soo glad I watched your video,job done in 2 hrs and working A1,never would of managed if I hadn:t watched your video.Thanks for saving me a few bob.

I changed my wifes car ones today also. Thanks for the flaps tip. They are now in the bin. I hope no junk will be trapped anymore for a while. Thank you so much.

bless you for working on modern appliances (I mean) cars

Thanks so much for the helpful and funny video! I have almost zero experience but this got me through.

Thanks for this! Window wipers have been an intermittent nightmare for a while now. I'll have a crack at cleaning and modifying the scuttles this weekend. Also have the intermittent brake issue and an intermittent speaker on passenger side

Thank you so much for a brilliantly explained and entertaining video.

Great help. Just saved me an absolute fortune. Thanks 👍

I have had to this today. Your video has been so useful. Thank you.

i ve got second hand one from ebay and fixed my car, many thanks for the video

My wiper motors went, cant get new ones anywhere, but found a great used parts website & paid about £360 with 6 months guarantee. My driver's door lock went also, found a new one at £200.

Thanks for this brilliant video. Easy to follow and with a good level of useful info, not least about the drain tubes and looking out for the potentially missing bush. I have the same issue re wipers and with 140k miles on the clock and several dings to various body panels, our 'family bus' ain't worth much and so we are definitely in 'write off' territory. You might have just saved the day! Thanks a million :-) One question - has anyone tried to replace just one motor and then retro-sync to the original one? Just thinking ...

I changed driver side all working now

Tom's guilty secret his Icey goodness. I have a IC Honda Odyssey JDM.

I don't suppose you know where I could find a pair of these motors? I can't find any anywhere and I've just got a scenic that needs new ones 😢

I had the same problem with my wife’s 15 plate, I swapped the passenger motor on my 10 plate and the fault moved to mine. I was really luck to find a replacement in a local salvage yard for £50!! my 10 plate has been brilliant but my wife’s younger model has had a few niggly issues with the electrics. I wonder how much this is down to washing style. Mine has only ever been washed with a sponge, I know pressure washing your car is a really bad move.

It would have been beneficial to me if you could say what your wipers were doing that made you change both motors. At the moment our passenger wiper eventually moves itself out of the way into the service position and then the drivers side works as it should. I can't get the wipers to go into the service position the same as you did, how long do you have to wait? I've tried waiting 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds - So frustrating. I have tried a reset procedure I found online with the ignition on move stalk from 0 to 1 and then 1 to 0, then disconnect the wiper motor plugs and reconnect and do the same with the ignition on move stalk from 0 to 1 and then 1 to 0. Nothing makes any difference. I feel like the motors are working if they move the wiper arms. With the drivers side working as it should would the passenger side still be able to move itself out of the way? Any help appreciated

Hi Wondering if you could help me figure out if we need new motors on our Renault Scenic and if so which motor/motors need replacement. Currently when returning to the car the driver's wiper will move up the screen as you unlock the door for some reason and then it waits for the passenger side wiper to move itself out of the way in small incremental movements which only happens with turning the wipers on and off 4 times or so. Once it finds its way back down to the bottom of the windscreen the passenger side then moves itself up to the service position out of the way and then the drivers wiper functions as normal for the rest of the journey. Only to go through the above procedure again when entering the car again for the next trip. I have not managed to find anyone online discussing the same issues in the same way, but it seems to me that the driver side is OK and it would be the passenger side that is having problems. Any help appreciated, Many thanks

Hi.. Please can I ask a question, Do the part numbers have to be the same.? Or does it not matter as long as the part is the same . Thank you

Is it really necessary to have the wipers in service position do do this job? Can it not be done with wipers lying horisontally?

Great video. Helped a lot.

Please do a video on actually stripping and repairing the wiper motor as it is impossible to get a second hand motor in Northern Ireland and have been ripped of buying used on line.

unfortunately with these cars the design of the scuttle drains is terrible. I'm on my 3rd scenic now, and every one ive bought the first job I did is clear scuttle drains and cut off the rubber flap. my current Mk3 grand scenic has the original wiper motors because the scuttle has never been blocked. also don't forget to poke a long curtain wire down the drain hose.

What a stupid place for the drain tubes though! And those motors, just how does water get into them, they are supposedly 'sealed!!

Hi could you shohow thewtrim goes back? A mechanic did my wiper motors, but bowthetrim is not resting and sealed against windscreen, are there clips underneath or do I have to double sided tape it on?

Which motor is master and which is slave on UK spec scenic?

I've changed only one motor is there anyway to snyc the two motors together without buying two more, as it still seems to play up

so replacing the wiper motors was the answer then i mean say if its rained hard for weeks as it does in england and has time to dry out and suddenly the wiper motors stop as happened to me i hadnt used the wipers for a couple of weeks then the sun was gkaring onto the window picking out all the dirty marks and solashes etc i pulled back the lever to wash the window and inturn the wipers usually come on automatically but the screen wash jetted up yet no wipers i have took it to a garage they say say they ve stripped it down so those parts you sourced off ebay were they difficult to get ps wish you were my mechanic

I cant get mine to go in service mode either its really annoying

It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it. 😒 They seem unnecessarily complicated, typical Renault.

It’s a terrible design if the water gets blocked it kills the alarm and water pours into the car over the bull head and onto fuse box inside the car just ridiculous
