syncro truck mirror replacement?
Does anyone have an up to date source for getting a replacement mirror?
My nearside mirror got smashed yesterday and i need to get a replacement quick.
Can anyone confirm that the LT mirrors (281-857-547C - Is that the right code....?) are available anywhere? Sure i remember something about Euro car parts having them at some point?
Don't mind if heated or not, will buy a pair if i have to........

Re: syncro truck mirror replacement?
eurocarparts used to sell hella branded one and it was the cheapest source, give them the VW number 281 857 547 B is non heated, C is the heated version
C is cheaper than B from VW as stated about £24
brickie may stock them

The only ones either place could get hold of were the non heated version.

Re: syncro truck mirror replacement?
I got 'genuine' heated ones from VW (they were £24+VAT I think) but there's no sign of any VW part numbers of logos on them so I think they must have been aftermarket ones approved and stocked by VW. I doubt they're any better than euro equivs...
Now rusting away even quicker by the seaside

It was about a year ago that I got mine. Non-heated were already unavailable, and they did say supply of heated was running low...Checked the part number of he heated option today at work and its obsolete as from a year ago..didn't check the non heated ones..

Re: syncro truck mirror replacement?
As far as I know the heated ones were LT parts not T3.
Same size head though so it matters not.
