Description
This right side exterior mirror assembly for the Citroën C5 (first generation) delivers electric adjustment, electric folding and an integrated heated glass with a temperature sensor. The unit is supplied as the mirror shell with electronics only; mirror glass and the outer cover are available separately. Reference part code: 8149WJ.
Engineered for professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts, this assembly restores the full functionality of the passenger side mirror and matches the original mounting and electrical interfaces in compatible vehicles. It is a practical replacement when the mirror housing, motors or internal electronics are damaged while the door and mounting points remain intact.
Fitment Note: This mirror fits Citroën C5 first generation models built up to 2004 and may be compatible with certain 2005 models. Compatibility should always be verified against the vehicle VIN or by comparing the OEM code 8149WJ with the original part number on the vehicle.
Installation Overview: Remove the interior door trim to access the mirror mounting bolts, disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the old mirror assembly. Install the new mirror, reconnect the wiring and test all functions (adjustment, heating and folding) before refitting the door trim. For vehicles equipped with memory settings or additional sensors, verify connector compatibility and secure any retained modules during installation.
Common Causes Of Failure: Mirrors typically fail due to impact damage, worn adjustment motors, corrosion or poor electrical contact in connectors, water ingress damaging heating elements or sensors, and broken mirror glass or outer covers from collisions. Routine inspection of door seals and connector condition can help extend service life.
Advantages: Quick OEM-style replacement that restores electric adjustment, heating and folding functions; reduces workshop labor compared with repairing individual components. Ideal for workshops and competent DIY repairs when the door structure and electrical harness are intact.
