Audi A4 B6 B7 8E 2001-2008 Left Passenger Side Electric Wing Mirror Black
Audi A4 B6 B7 8E 2001-2008 Left Passenger Side Electric Wing Mirror Black
Important fitment correction
The photographs do not match an Audi A4 B8 / 8K facelift mirror. The shape, triangular door mount, non-indicator housing and connector arrangement are consistent with the earlier Audi A4 B6/B7 8E mirror family. Do not advertise this item as a 2012–2015 B8 mirror unless a hidden assembly label proves otherwise.
The exact Audi service-number suffix is not visible in the supplied photographs. The catalogue family most closely associated with this configuration is 8E2 858 531 AA 01C, but the buyer must match the number, connector and functions on the mirror currently fitted before ordering.
Actual item photographs
These are the seller's existing eBay-hosted photographs for item reference 147412105150. They show the item supplied, its connector arrangement, markings and visible condition.
Reference vehicles and fitment location
These freely licensed reference photographs show the B6 and B7 saloon body generations associated with the mirror family. They are examples only; colour, trim and specification may differ.
Reference photographs are used under the stated Creative Commons licences. They do not depict the exact donor vehicle or the item supplied.
Part specification
| Number / marking | How it should be used |
|---|---|
| 8E2 858 531 AA 01C | Likely catalogue family/reference only. The complete assembly label is not visible, so physically verify before using this as the MPN. |
| 18167 | Visible mould/production or stock marking. It is not verified as the Audi mirror assembly service number. |
| Connector housing marking | A VAG-style mould number is present but is not sufficiently clear to publish as an exact number. Use the plug shape and pin positions for comparison; a connector code is not the full mirror assembly number. |
| 98651 / date label | Visible harness/production reference. Do not use it alone to confirm vehicle compatibility. |
Compatibility chart – buy the correct part first time
This chart is intentionally conservative. Fitment is conditional on the buyer's existing mirror having the same left/RHD mounting, housing shape, connector arrangement and functions.
| Make / model | Platform & body | UK model years | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audi A4 B6 | 8E2 – 4-door saloon | 2001–2004 | Fits when connector and functions match |
| Audi A4 B6 Avant | 8E5 – 5-door estate | 2001–2004 | Fits when connector and functions match |
| Audi A4 B7 | 8EC – 4-door saloon | 2005–2008 | Fits when connector and functions match |
| Audi A4 B7 Avant | 8ED – 5-door estate | 2005–2008 | Fits when connector and functions match |
| Audi S4 / RS4 B6-B7 | Saloon or Avant | Model dependent | Not advertised as confirmed – often different cap, wiring or functions |
Known non-fitment / do not order for
- Audi A4 B8 / 8K, including 2008–2015 and the 2012–2015 facelift.
- Audi A4 B9, Audi A5, Audi A3, Audi A6 or unrelated models.
- Audi A4 Cabriolet 8H – the frameless-door mirror family is different.
- Left-hand-drive vehicles where the mirror specification and viewing angle differ.
- UK driver side / right / offside.
- Mirrors with an integrated indicator, different triangular base or different connector.
- Power-fold, memory, auto-dimming, blind-spot/lane-assist or puddle-light versions unless every function and pin position matches.
How to confirm fitment before ordering
- Confirm the required side is left / UK passenger / nearside.
- Read the full assembly number from the mirror currently fitted. It is normally behind the interior sail trim or on the mirror base/harness.
- Compare the triangular mounting base and overall housing shape with every actual-item photograph above.
- Compare the main connector housing, pin positions and separate two-pin plug.
- Confirm your present mirror's functions: electric adjustment, heated glass, manual or power fold, memory, auto-dimming, puddle light and indicator.
- Send the vehicle registration or VIN and the number from the old mirror through eBay Messages before purchase when uncertain.
Do not match by year alone
Vehicles of the same year can use different mirrors due to body style, equipment package, production date and wiring. Photographs, connector layout and the original assembly number take priority over generic item specifics.
Where it is fitted and what it controls
The assembly bolts to the upper front corner of the left front door, beside the A-pillar. The wiring passes through the door and connects behind the interior trim.
It provides the driver's rearward view on the passenger side and operates electric glass adjustment. A separate two-pin connection may serve heated glass on compatible specifications; match this to the old mirror before ordering.
Common symptoms of a faulty or damaged mirror
- Mirror glass will not move or moves intermittently.
- Glass does not clear condensation when heating is selected on an equipped vehicle.
- Housing is loose, cracked or vibrates at speed.
- Mirror has been struck and the mounting base is damaged.
- Electrical plug or wiring is damaged or corroded.
- Water enters the housing after impact or seal failure.
- Glass is cracked, distorted or cannot be positioned safely.
- Poor side visibility creates an MOT or road-safety concern.
Why choose a used factory-fit component?
A used factory-production part is designed around the vehicle's original mounting points, connector geometry and mirror housing shape. This can provide a better starting point than an unverified low-cost copy, but the part number and functions must still match.
Buying used can be substantially cheaper than buying a new dealer-supplied assembly. The actual saving varies by specification, condition, availability and current new-part price; no fixed percentage saving is guaranteed.
Reusing a serviceable part also keeps an existing component in circulation and reduces demand for additional manufacturing, packaging and material use.
Condition
This is a used item. The rear housing shows visible scratches, scuffs and silver-coloured marks/paint transfer. The photographs form part of the condition description. Expect normal age-related wear and clean/prepare the item as required before installation.
No claim is made that the painted/textured finish will be an exact cosmetic match for every vehicle. Transfer of your existing cap, glass or trim may be required depending on specification.
Fitting guide
Typical tools required
- Plastic trim-removal tools
- Torx driver set, commonly T20/T25/T30
- Small ratchet and metric socket set
- Small flat screwdriver or pick for connector locks
- Protective tape, gloves and a clean cloth
Fastener size can vary by trim and production revision. Inspect the vehicle before starting.
Typical installation sequence
- Park safely, switch the ignition off and protect the door/paintwork.
- Remove the interior mirror sail trim; some versions may require partial door-card removal.
- Release the electrical connector without pulling on the wires.
- Support the mirror, remove its mounting fasteners and lift the assembly away.
- Compare both mirrors side by side before fitting. Transfer any compatible trim required.
- Install the replacement, route the harness correctly and tighten to the manufacturer's specification.
- Reconnect, refit trim and test every mirror function before final assembly.
Safety: This guide is general information, not a substitute for workshop data. Stop if the connector, mounting base or functions differ. Professional installation is recommended where door trim, wiring or airbag-adjacent components are involved.

- Postage service, price and estimated delivery date are shown by eBay at checkout.
- International orders may be available through eBay-managed international shipping for eligible items and destinations. eBay is migrating UK sellers from the Global Shipping Programme to eBay International Shipping in phases from August 2026, so the service shown at checkout may differ by account.
- Check the delivery address before paying. Sellers cannot redirect an order to a different address after checkout; cancellation and repurchase may be required.

VAT, warranty and returns
VAT / Global Accounting Scheme
Where the Global Accounting Scheme applies, VAT is accounted for under the margin-scheme rules and is not itemised separately or recoverable separately on the invoice. This is more accurate than stating that no VAT exists.
Returns
Returns are handled under the applicable eBay return terms and UK consumer law. The item must be returned as the same item supplied, complete and safely packed. Where eBay permits, a deduction may be made only to reflect a genuine loss in value caused by installation, damage, alteration, missing parts, misuse or inadequate return packaging, up to the maximum allowed by eBay. There is no automatic blanket restocking charge merely because a fitment-related return reason is selected.
To avoid delay and return costs, verify the old mirror's number, side, body style, connector and functions before purchase. Contact us through eBay Messages for a pre-purchase check.
