Problems with the windshield wiper and rain-light sensor of the Citroen C2 Diesel 2007 - experiences and solutions wanted
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A Citroen C2 Diesel 2007 owner is experiencing issues with malfunctioning windshield wipers, potentially linked to the rain/light sensor. A similar case with a Citroen C3 was resolved by addressing "bubbling under the windshield gel pad," which might be the cause here as well. The suggested solution is to have the gel pad inspected and possibly replaced at a garage, as this resolved the issue for another driver.

Hey, thanks for your answer! Well, my C2 already has quite a bit on it, 176342 KM to be precise. I had the last service done some time ago and haven't noticed any new problems since then, until now with the windshield wipers. I'll definitely take your tip into consideration and have it checked at the garage, maybe it's the gel pad. These costs would still be okay for me. Have a nice day!

Hello, no problem, always happy to help! It's good that you had the last service. With the mileage, it's definitely possible that the gel pad could be the cause of the problem. I also found it bearable to cover the cost. Just get it checked at the garage and hopefully it's nothing serious. I can tell you since I had the gel pad replaced my wipers have been running like day one. Please keep me posted on how it goes for you. Have a nice day!

Hey, thanks for the encouraging words! I also hope it's just the gel pad and nothing worse. That's reassuring to hear that your wipers are working fine after the change. I'll be sure to let you know when I've been to the garage and find out what's going on. Until then, have a good day and see you next time!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2005 Citroen C3 diesel, I'd say I have little experience with cars apart from the basics. At my garage I was told it could be "bubbling under the windshield gel pad". After a close inspection, they determined that it was. It cost me 62.5 euros to fix it. This could also be the source of your problem. Could you give more details about your vehicle? That would help give further advice. Hope this helps you!
