Description
Overview
This left side wing mirror is a direct-fit replacement for the Citroën C3 Pluriel. Designed for the driver’s side, the unit features electric adjustment, electric folding and heated glass to improve visibility in cold or wet conditions. The mirror carries the reference code 8149XC and is intended for PSA platform vehicles.
Key Features
- Electric adjustment: precise mirror position control from the cabin.
- Electric folding: reduces damage risk when parked and eases passage in tight spaces.
- Heated glass: speeds up de-icing and demisting for clearer vision in adverse weather.
- Driver-side application: specifically manufactured for the left side of the vehicle.
Installation & Fitment
Replacement is straightforward for trained technicians and competent DIYers. Typical steps:
- Remove the interior door trim panel or small triangular trim to access the mirror mounting area.
- Disconnect the electrical connector for the mirror functions.
- Remove the retaining nuts or screws that secure the mirror housing to the door.
- Carefully remove the old mirror and install the new unit, aligning the mounting pins.
- Reconnect the electrical connector, test adjustment, folding and heating functions before reassembling the trim.
Work time typically ranges from 20 to 45 minutes depending on door trim complexity. Use appropriate tools and take care to avoid damaging door trim clips and wiring harnesses.
Typical Faults & Causes
Mirrors commonly fail due to impact damage (parking knocks or collisions), motor or actuator wear, wiring connector corrosion from moisture, or broken mirror glass. The heated element can fail or the adjustment motor can seize, requiring replacement of the complete mirror assembly rather than individual components in most cases.
