My fault!

Just been quoted £636 to replace my mirror by VW

Seems a lot

Is this typical

Thanks

Did they give you a formal itemised quote, part numbers, labour and VAT?
I think they are taking the p1ss.
 
colour coded?

folding / motorised?
 
sounds about right then . . .

from memory, last time i had mine smashed off.

VW replaced the whole lot for new, the other insurance company paid for it.

here is the quote from 2013 (left mirror ( GPS antenna etc)):

Wow.
I could buy a half decent used car With the money.

anybody like to chip in with how easy or difficult it would be for me to do it myself ?
 
its easy to go yourself (if you have the temperament and tools)

but you still need to get all the bits . . .

the labour was only £112 + vat on my quote.


++++

door panel off,
internal plastic cover off
disconnect loom in door,
unbolt 3 bolts.
remove whole unit,

refit in reverse.

how bad smashed is it?

post a few pics?
 
With patience and watching a few YouTube videos, it is a diy job if you pick up a cheap or secondhand unit

Where are you going to get a cheap or secondhand one in good condition? It’s outrageous how flimsy and expensive they are :mad:
