Hi,

Just been checking my daughters C3 in advance of it's MoT next week, and joy of joys, the drivers side mirror door repeater is not working.

Although I found a post on the same subject, unfortunately there was no advice as to how this can be replaced.

I have found a replacement fitting at a company not too far away that I can get in 3 days, but as I mentioned, I cannot find any instructions/videos on this subject - I can find plenty on replacing the full mirror, or the repeater lights on a multitude of other vehicles, but nothing for this car. I suspect I would also be correct in that this would involve removal of the mirror unit and hence the interior trim panel?

If anyone has a link to a post or a video, I will be extremely grateful.

Many thanks.

Hi

I've not tried it myself, but is there a place to lever the cover off from the outside?


I think it needs a look through the documents which I should be able to access in the morning.

Changing integrated direction indicator side repeaters on a 2014 MY Citroen C3

  • Insert a screwdriver towards the centre of the repeater between the repeater and the base of the door mirror.
  • Tilt the screwdriver to extract the repeater and remove it.
  • Disconnect the repeater connector.
  • Replace the module.
To refit, carry out these operations in reverse order 8-)

The parts are availabe on eBay RIGHT and LEFT. Note they are handed, pick left or right.



You can see the metal spring clip that holds them in place when you can see the rear of the repeater lamp housing.

That's great - many thanks both for replying. TBH, I had visions of having to dismantle the door and having to completely remove the mirror .... a relief to know that isn't the case!! I have found the part for pick up today, so will hopefully have the car MoT ready by tonight. Again, many thanks for your help
