Retro fit electric folding mirrors.

[PNH80]

Alright fellas...

I have no idea why but my car was spec'd by Audi without electric folding door mirrors but it was. I didn't think it would make much of a difference but it really is becoming a pain in the *** so i want to retro fit the electric motors.

What actually needs to be changed? The whole of the body of the mirror? (excluding casing and glass/mirror) Or is it literally just a case of putting in the motor and wiring it up?

I won't be doing it myself, it'll be done by someone who knows what they're doing! I just want to have a rough idea what it will entail before i look too deeply into it.

Cheers.

Paul.

I dunno Paul, but its well worth it trust me

They are worth it, But i've been back to the dealer 3 times due to faulty mirrors.!!!!!!!!
It can't be much due to the option being £120.00 from audi.

But new switch, wiring etc, can see it being abit of a ******!

wouldn't mind doing this myself if somebody can provide the part numbers - assuming it isn't too expensive.

It'll be interesting to find out..

I guess the wiring loom is already there?

The one thing that annoys me is you cant retract them whilst moving, say if a car was coming towards me and i can see it being tight. I used to do it lots in my mondy.

I can if the car doing about 10-15 mph any faster it won't. But it didn't do it before it went into dealer's last time. doooooh.

Don't know if this will help at all, but it's a PDF showing the pages for the door mirrors from the parts catalogue. At least it seems to show which parts will need to be changed.

folding door mirrors

also for the door mirror switches and the door wiring loom

Remember someone asking about this last year. Think it became too expensive for the wiring and labour in the end to do it.
