Replacing indicator repeaters

[RickG]

Hi, new member here. The car has recently failed it's MOT partly for a non working offside indicator repeater in the mirror. Having looked online for the required part-an led unit, and advice on changing it I am having problems sourcing this part. Before I try the dreaded main dealer option can anyone advise me on alternative sources. The motor is a 2011 4x4 2l without a puddle lamp. Many thanks.

I found some for my Octavia on Ebay.

Thanks. I have looked there and put the reg into various of the suppliers on eBay with no luck.

This what I got when I searched

Yes those are the ones where, when I enter my reg it says 'vehicle not compatible' I've tried a few.

Pretty sure you need:

- 5L0 949 101 (left)

- 5L0 949 102 (right)

on a MY11 Yeti without puddle lights...

 

The parts with a suffix letter are either for a newer car or a car with puddle lights

Thats a trading platform langers2k, do you recommend it? Have you used it?

[langers2k]

I only use it to find the part numbers...

 

Now you have the part number, you can use any shop you like

 

Personally, I'd probably use eBay or ask Mike at https://www.coverdalecarparts.co.uk/ for a quote.

I also wouldn’t write off Skoda dealers - in the past I have been pleasantly surprised how competitive their prices are.

Thanks all for your help. I'm off to the main dealer to see what they have to say......

I'd second that having had to replace a couple of bits recently. And the other thing is with a Skoda dealer the onus is on them to order the right part(s) for your particular car which should eliminate the risk of mistakenly ordering the wrong bit with all the hassles of returns and re-ordering.

Well we'll have to wait to find out as the parts dept was closed, it being a Saturday.

Update- got the part and today with the help of all the previous posts on this subject changed it. It still didn't work and it's the b****y door loom that's causing the issues. Doh! Next step is ordering a door loom.
