Description
Overview
Left electric folding wing mirror for Citroën C5 (models manufactured up to 2004; may fit some 2005 variants). The unit offers electric adjustment, electric folding and integrated heating. Supplied as the mirror shell/skeleton with onboard electronics only. Mirror glass and outer cover are available separately. Designed for the driver’s side.
Key Features
- Electric adjustment for quick and precise mirror positioning.
- Electric folding mechanism to protect the mirror in tight spaces and during parking.
- Heated element to remove ice and fog for improved visibility.
- Supplied as the mirror housing/skeleton including electronics; glass and cover must be ordered separately if required.
- Commonly identified by product code 8149WN for PSA applications.
Fitment And Compatibility
Primarily intended for Citroën C5 first generation (up to 2004). Compatibility may extend to certain 2005 models depending on factory options and door wiring harness. Always confirm fitment by checking part code 8149WN against the vehicle’s VIN, existing part number or a reliable parts catalogue before ordering.
Replacement Procedure
Typical steps for replacement (recommended for professional mechanics or experienced DIYers):
- Remove the interior door trim or mirror access panel to reach the mounting bolts and electrical connector.
- Disconnect the electrical connector and carefully unbolt the mirror assembly.
- Install the new mirror assembly, secure mounting bolts to the correct torque and reconnect the wiring.
- Refit trim pieces and test mirror adjustment, heating and folding functions before completing the job.
If unsure about any step, consult the vehicle’s repair manual or seek professional assistance.
Common Failure Modes And Maintenance
Mirrors typically fail due to impact damage (collisions or knocks), motor wear from frequent use, corrosion or water ingress at connector points, and broken wiring. Regular visual checks, ensuring connectors are dry and secure and testing adjustment/heating functions can prevent unexpected failures. Damaged glass or outer cover does not always indicate electronic failure, as these components are replaceable separately.
