    Thanks for this video - helped me to replace the wing mirror indicator on my A6 C7 Avant 2016 after it got broken in a tight squeeze!

    All I needed was to remove the glass itself, and have confidence that it needed a bit of force to get it dislodged without breaking the glass itself. I can see from your vid that you did need quite a bit of force, and so got mine off from my 2016 A3 without a problem 👍 thank you!

    Anyone have experience replacing the mirror motor (folding type mirrior)? Looks like from vid you can get right to it.. Have '16 A6. Thanks

    Thank you for the instructions! Can he bottom plastic piece also be replaced?

    • @audimods
      @audimods  2 роки тому

      Yes, a few more screws and it also comes out.

    did the same thing on my a6, first side took an hour the 2nd side only took 15 mins. once you get the hang of it it’s easy. Just be careful of the pesky clips in the back one or two of mine broke but everything clipped in just fine.

    thank you for this video, but it may have only gotten me only halfway. I smashed my right mirror backing out of garage and I may need to take the unit off and replace same with a new unit. Got a video for that?

    • @audimods
      @audimods  2 роки тому

      No video on that one sorry Greg.

    Good man, thank you… I took my Audi A6 2017 S Line passenger side mirror to a mechanic to replace my broken one and as I was driving on the motorway I could see that the mirror was wobbly.
    I tried to push it in to make it steady but I couldn’t do it unfortunately. Any suggestions please? Thank you

    • @audimods
      @audimods  11 місяців тому

      Sorry I am not sure, hope you got it fixed.

  • @denzil6931
    @denzil6931 2 роки тому +1

    The driver's side mirror on my A6 C7 is stuck in the closed position. Is it safe to manually push it to the open position or do I risk damaging the motor/gear? I see you have manually pushed the unit further out, so that does give me a little confidence....Cheers

    • @audimods
      @audimods  Рік тому +1

      I cannot speak for your exact issue, or whether there is some deeper mechanical fault, but you can manually move the mirrors with some gentle but firm persuasion.

    hey man is this similar to a 2013 audi a4 ? need to replace housing like you did

    • @audimods
      @audimods  8 місяців тому

      They aren't the same, but I am sure it would be a similar process. I don't own an A4 myself so I cannot say for sure.

    My mirror is in a LOCKED POSITION from someone hitting it like you shown when taking off the glass at the beginning of the video. How can I unstick it to move it back to regular position ? Please help. Thanks

    • @audimods
      @audimods  11 місяців тому

      Maybe time to take it to a professional, sorry to hear you are having issues.

    Are you from NZ? Also do you know what size corx screw driver is required?

    • @audimods
      @audimods  Рік тому +1

      Australia. I don't recall the exact number, perhaps a T10, they are fairly small - but in general just try each bit in your Torx set till you get the right fit.

    Hey buddy
    Please, you disconnect 3 wires from mirror glass
    2 of them are heating and third connector is dimming?

    • @audimods
      @audimods  Годину тому

      I gather it is for defrost and dimming, yes.

    Unfortunately this actually doesn’t work/apply for the a8 (2011-2017)
    The a8 d4 is a two piece shell that has a completely different mounting situation:(

    I just done this myself, came to youtube to see if there was an easier way to do it, turns out there is not. What an awkward fiddly bit of plastic

    • @audimods

      It does seem more complex than necessary.

    Great video, apart from the background music. Why do people think that a video made to watch and listen to the narrator, needs bloody annoying background rubbish.

      @audimods better at drag racing, and easier to work on. I actually own one of these a6 c7 3.0sc and it's been the most unreliable piece of crap I've ever owned. Cats blowing out, overheating issues, cwa50 magically stops working, blown sc coolant brick etc etc. I like to mod vehicles which comes with breaking stuff and wear and tear but these are straight up junk. If you like doing track racing around corners and stuff then I'd say it's good but for actually drag racing yea absolutely way too slow even when modded highly.

      Ok, there is a volume control you could just turn it down.
