Used wiper motors vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Alfa Romeo 147 ran from 2001 to 2010, with a facelift introduced in 2004, so there are two distinct generations to be aware of. Wiper motors from within the same pre-facelift (2001–2004) or post-facelift (2004–2010) period are the most likely to interchange directly. If you are looking at a motor that crosses the 2004 facelift boundary, confirm compatibility with the breaker against your registration before buying, as internal changes can affect fitment.
A 2003 147 is pre-facelift and a 2006 is post-facelift, so these sit either side of the 2004 facelift boundary. Wiper motor designs can change across a facelift, so this cross-generation swap is not a straightforward like-for-like. Check with the breaker using both registrations before committing to a purchase.
Trim level does not affect wiper motor fitment on the 147 — the same motor was used across Turismo, Lusso, and Veloce variants within the same generation. What matters is whether the car is pre-facelift (2001–2004) or post-facelift (2004–2010), and whether you need the front or rear motor. You may find minor cosmetic differences in the wiper assembly between cars stripped from different trims, but the motor itself is trim-independent.
No — front and rear wiper motors are completely different units and are not interchangeable. When contacting a breaker, make sure you specify clearly whether you need the front or rear motor so they supply the correct part. Mixing these up is a common and easily avoided mistake.
Engine type has no bearing on wiper motor fitment, so a motor from a diesel 147 will be just as suitable as one from a petrol car, provided the generation matches. The key factors are the model generation (pre or post the 2004 facelift) and whether it is the front or rear motor. Give the breaker your registration so they can match the correct unit to your car.
The most reliable approach is to give the breaker your full registration number and ask them to confirm it against the registration of the donor vehicle they are stripping. Focus on matching the generation — pre-facelift 2001–2004 or post-facelift 2004–2010 — and confirm whether you need the front or rear unit. A good breaker will cross-reference both vehicles before sending the part, but always ask explicitly rather than assuming.
