Extremely helpful video . Unfortunately the whole wiring loom ( 9 cables / 10 pin plug ) was broken . I decided to identify, cut and solder a new loom to save some money . Thank you .
Thank you from Germany. Simple and precise explanations for my W245. It saved a lot of money!
no problem glad to be of assistance
Thank you so much! My dad and I were able to change our b class wing mirror & led light after following your video carefully! :)
That's great! Glad to help
thanks so much for doing this video, i just followed it and successfully replaced my broken indicator, thanks a million !
Thank you for an excellent "How to". The job took no time at all - due solely to the clarity of your instructions. Well done!
Thanks Ian, I appreciate the positive feedback! 👍
@@ianwright3420 Good Idea!
Oh Shoot, you did it well. Thanks for the clear, fully explained guide
no probs
Thank you. Fiddly but I could not have done it without your clear instructions.
Many thanks for this video. I did not know how to remove the upper part of the mirror, now I know that you need cutlery :-). You helped me a lot, thank you and best regards.

Дякую за інформативне відео
Thankyou I had no idea that you couldn't do it without removing the mirror and motor etc.
I'm glad this video helped. Don't forget to subscribe I have some more videos coming soon.
Many thanks for your very helpful video - I would not have been able to replace the indicator light without this. In any case I found that it was quite a tricky job !
You're welcome
Thank you for your video. I did it by myself and I am a girl. Very easy.
:) You're welcome
Thank you, I made it 🎉❤
@@angelmilanov8381 nice 👍🏽 glad you found it useful.
Wow!! Great video! I had a quote of almost £300 for a garage to do this for my B class. Ordered the parts from Autodoc and feeling confident about giving this a go myself with a saving of more than that £200!
that's awesome, do it! save your money :D
TC very good thank you from AUSTRALIA
Very well. Thank you 4 this video. Easy to manage ... step by step... the lower frontcover don´t need to be removed totaly to change the indicater, just loosen ist.

Merci pour ce tutoriel... super !
Thank you i spent weeks looking for info gracias
No problemo Robert
There goes all my knives... :p But thanks for this vid!
Sorry about the knives :) you’re welcome!
Thank you!!! Not easy, but not so hard.
you're welcome
Thanks. You made my day! I was able to do it all by myself, but it sure is not easy. You need lot of patience to wriggle the upper cowl out of their bows!!
How do I reset the notification on my display? It still complains. Kindly assist me please.
You're welcome! Glad to help.
Thanks so much for sharing this. My W169s electric mirrors and indicators are working fine but I have a pair of dynamic indicators to replace the stock ones 👍🏻
nice! if you have a video please share it here.
@@ohshootvidz lol I keep putting it off because it looks to be a bit of an effort 😅 I keep looking around for a stepladder or something that can be raised to the height of the mirrors to help hold and support the parts held by wires while I work
Thanks! That would have been a bit of a struggle. 10 min. fix!
You're welcome glad the video helped! 👍
Well done guys keep up good work
Thanks bro you’ve been a big help
I have to replace the left one tomorrow, or I wont pass the german TÜV...not sure what the english term would be. Technical Inspection maybe?! I def going to give it a go, after finding this video. Fingers crossed, some say I have two left hands...
Thank yuo very much ,it was very use full .🤩😘
you're welcome :D
Thank you soooo much for this video! It just saved me 140€! And the butter knife trick totally works :)
Hi Fran, you're welcome!
CZcams as its best! Nicely done.
thank you
Thank you! Operation was successful.
Many, many, many thanks for this I would have wrecked the whole thing without it. Why does what seems like a simple job have to be so much more difficult than it should be?
You're Welcome John. Over engineered that's the Mercedes way :) 🇩🇪👍
Huge help. Thanks!
You're welcome 👍
ur the best mate.....
Grand merci pour votre sérieux.
thank you !
Anyone knows if the larger mirrors from the 245 facelift can fit well on a first generation of w245, instead of the smaller and rounded ones?
Thanks for video
The guide worked perfectly! Thank you very much but now my dashboard gives me a "Check Mirror Turn Signal" error. Any idea how to get rid of it?
did you resolve this? make sure the connections are clean maybe use some electrical cleaner.
Thanks 👍
no problem!
Thank you!
Many thanks!
thanks!
Gracias por tu ayuda
no problemo :D
is this guide also for A class 160 hatchback ?
Yes
Hi, last day i putched the electric mirror in of my Mercedes a class 2012. When i pop it back it won't open and close automatically. Do you have a video on that?
No im so sorry I can’t help with that one
I have a notification on my display saying that my light has got problem. I try your video to see if something was disconnected. Answer, no. So I put all back but my light still doesn't work. But the message on my display disappeared. Is this normal? I am going to fully change the light with a new one. Do you think the problem can come from elsewhere?
Will try this but the motor is not working so can't move the glass. Will try to prise out
I need to replace my whole mirror unit (mirror has come off the part attached to the car). Any advice/how to? Thanks
Very informative video. Will this work on a 2006 w169 2.0l DCI model, or are the steps very different?
the process will be very similar,
Check this out fellow professionals and you guys at home
Hey! I would have a question. I have the same mirror, the indicator is working properly but the folding system is broken. One little piece of thing broke which is responsible for the folding, it's like a tiny stick which is connecting to the motor. It is the same way to disassamble the mirror?
Hi Benedek, I don't have folding mirrors on my car but if you want to dissemble the mirror to gain access then this process should help.
Is it possible to only replace the bulb within the lens? Or must an entirely new part be installed? The indicator on my car is in good shape, but it is just not lighting up and I am not sure why.
I don't think so Matthew as these are led's it will be tricky. If you forward to the part where I fit the light unit you can see it is all sealed. You may just have a loose connection. Disassemble and try that first.
I have a 2006 Mercedes A class A150 (still W169......... but the mirror and indicator are slightly smaller). Will replacing the mirror indicator be the same as this 2008 - 2011 facelift video, - please ? Thank you.
Update. All done. Used equivalent part for 2006 A class W169. This video gave me the confidence to fix it myself. Thank you.
@@xxxx-ps6pf that's great! so glad you found it helpful.
Me gustaría el W 168
Ciao per caso sai come mettere in tensione lo specchietto.ho sbattuto lo specchietto e rimane con poca tensione quando lo apro ha un poco di gioco
Sai come posso fare
scusa amico non capisco il problema Ti riferisci al vetro o all'intera unità
Save yourself a mirror. You don’t need to take the mirror off at all.
care to share how you did it?
pity your arm or hand is in the way most of the time
lol sorry. i'll try not to use my hands next time.
