C5 Mk1 Washer Bottle Cover

Post by wurlycorner »

My new purchase came devoid of a washer bottle cover. Going from under bonnet pics of other C5's for sale, I think it's not uncommon! :lol:
It's annoying though, because of how long it has obviously been left like that, with crap getting into the system, which has taken me quite a while to flush out (with one of the jets apparently being beyond saving!)

Anyway, according to service.citroen, mine needs part number 643230
Cheap enough from Citroen but I hate my local dealer, because they're a Vauxhall dealer and bloody useless at Citroen stuff, so I ordered it off ebay.
64320 looks like this;

This matches the drawing on service/citroen

It doesn't fit my car, which has this type;

Having another search round on ebay this one looks like the right part, but it says it's for a C1;

Just want to check, does anyone know if this is still the right size for a C5 washer bottle?
Anyone else come across the flap on their C5 being one of these instead of 64320?

The one you bought is the same as the one I bought for my first C5 (Mk 1).
Really need one for this C5 too.

Your not alone! I had self same issue recently. the original is 55mm in diameter but the one from ebay listed as fitting C5 was only 50mm. I emailed seller got no reply so put it back into the post and flagged it up with paypal. I was then finally told by vendor it was my fault asi didnt know what my car was so i shouldnt get a refund. All i can say is paypal were fab and thank goodness for pay after delivery :-D
I went elsewhere and got the proper item that fits a treat. I will login to ebay bit later and post the link of the one that fitted perfectly.
