C3 Drivers Door Mirror

Post by hamster99 »

Hi all
My wife's C3 is in need of a complete new door mirror unit (don't ask!!).
I know that Citroen want around £25 just for the mirror glass but does anyone know what the parts price is for the whole unit? On Citroen Service it looks like the part number is 8149.
Assuming the citroen price is too high has anyone else fitted a third party mirror unit?
Thanks
Rob

Depends on exactly what's fitted... need the VIN to confirm. Not as bad as it might seem though - £70 - £180 total.

Thanks Richard
VIN is 2876 6297 and the mirror unit itself is electric and heated. Also has the external temp sensor if that makes a difference.

You didn't say which side.... temp sensor is in the passenger side by the looks of it, but here is both:

Part Number Description Quantity Price excl. VAT Price incl. VAT Total incl. VAT Selection
00008149RW EXT VIEW MIRROR 74.68 GBP 89.62 GBP 89.62 GBP

00008149FJ EXT VIEW MIRROR 56.69 GBP 68.03 GBP 68.03 GBP

8149FJ is the passenger side, but that doesn't include a new temp sensor. If that has gone as well, then you need this:

00006445F9 MIRROR EXT TEMPERATURE SENSOR 26.13 GBP 31.36 GBP 31.36 GBP

On the bay for 40 quid but that says unheated.... :?

Thanks Richard

Not as expensive as I thought. It's definitely the drivers side one and I've checked and it does have the temp sensor in it although it looks like this is still working ok.

Thanks for the bay info, will take a squint around there myself to see if I can get a drivers side one. I would prefer a genuine citroen part and it looks like I might get one a bit cheaper off eBay than from citroen themselves. I know people who have bought pattern parts and then had to do some modifications to part/car when things like fixing points weren't quite in the same place!!

#-o Thread title "C3 Drivers Door Mirror" - maybe I should read!!

None on the bay at present, but you could try asking these guys Perrys parts as they knock out genuine stuff at reduced prices. I've bought a cam belt kit from them in the past, and they are doing OE oil filters for 1.6 HDi for £6 - 25% cheaper than the local factors for aftermarket.

Not sure about the temp sensor - there might be a bit of confusion on service.citroen as it talks about driver's side, but then shows a LH mirror (with the sensor). Some 'errors' in the RH drive conversion of service.citroen!!

Have found this one, seems to be an OE part although have asked them to confirm it includes the sensor.
