Part Number: 13227393 | Premium Recycled Vauxhall Parts
Vehicle Reference & Fitment
This part has been expertly removed from and is designed to fit the Vauxhall Insignia Mk1 (A) 2008-2017 (Saloon, Hatchback, and Sports Tourer Estate). Below is a reference image of the exact vehicle type this part belongs to, alongside the manufacturer logo confirming authenticity.
Where is this part fitted & What does it control?
This Front Wiper Motor and Complete Linkage Mechanism assembly is located in the Front Scuttle Panel Bay directly beneath the base of the front windscreen. Its primary function is to mechanically convert rotational power from the electric wiper motor into synchronized reciprocating sweeping motion for both front windscreen wiper arms.
Part Details & Symptoms of Failure
Material & Construction: Built with a high-torque electric motor housing, heavy-gauge steel pushrod links, and precision-engineered ball joints designed to withstand high wind resistance and heavy downpours.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Motor or Linkage:
- Front wipers fail to move completely or operate only on a single speed setting.
- Wiper arms stutter, jam midway across the windscreen, or make a loud humming noise from the motor.
- One wiper arm moves freely while the other remains stationary (indicating a popped or worn linkage ball joint).
- Total electrical failure due to water ingress into the wiper motor casing.
The MASSIVE Benefit of Buying Original Parts vs Cheap Copies: Aftermarket wiper motors often burn out quickly under load, and cheap linkage arms suffer from loose ball sockets that pop off during heavy rain. Buying an original, factory-removed Vauxhall unit ensures correct sweep angles and long-term durability. Best of all, you can save as much as 70% buying our premium used original parts instead of buying new from a main dealer!

Fitting Instructions & Garage Repair Estimator
Estimated Repair Time: 1.0 Hour
Required Tools: Plastic trim removal tool, 13mm socket (for wiper arm nuts), 10mm socket/ratchet (for linkage bolts), wire terminal pick.
Brief Fitting Guide: Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal. Remove the plastic caps over the wiper arm nuts, unscrew the 13mm nuts, and carefully pull the wiper arms off their tapered splines (use a puller if seized). Remove the rubber bonnet seal and lift off the plastic scuttle grille panel. Unplug the main electrical wiring connector from the wiper motor. Unbolt the mounting bolts securing the entire linkage framework, lift the old unit out, and install the replacement assembly in reverse order.
