Are B8 & 8.5 wing mirrors the same?

[jammy78]

Hi all,

As the title asks - have the wing mirrors changed in the B8/8.5 run?

I have a 2015 car and was wondering if the mirrors from a 2010 are the same or where they changed in the facelift?

thanks

If I'm not mistaken pre-facelifts fold in whereas facelifts fold up...

B8 were Dumbo's & B8.5 were elongated & much nicer, but no they're not the same.

Thanks, saved me a lot of aggro.

Is there a way to tell if they are power folding by looking at the wiring - I'm going to assume they have less or more wires?

Blue & pink wires are usually electric folding

I'm sure after 2009 59 plate the mirrors are the same as the facelift B8.5
See my car is 59 plate and is with facelift mirrors. All B8 2010 - 2012 are with them as well .

@jammy78 - Having had 2 B8 A4's I think I may be able to answer your question more accurately

I had a MY09 B8 A4 which came as standard with the dumbo ear type mirrors

I have recently purchased a MY10 B8 A4 Avant which has the smaller 'normal' mirrors

So its basically down to which MY yours is

PS Also had a MY15 B8.5 S4 which as I recall had the same size of mirrors as my Avant has

I had a 59 plate a4 b8 saloon with smaller mirrors too look identical to my 2012 a4 b8.5 I have now

Cheers all. So it seems late 09 motors I'll be ok.

With regards to the wiring, does anyone know what the 2 separate wires are for? As I see some without these?
