Hi there, Looking for a bit of help. Have a mk1 fabia 55 plate and had my driver side wing mirror broken by a van.  ordered a compete aftermarket mirror unit as the old one was held together with tape. new one arrived today but its smaller, The original is longer and seems slightly narrower. Does any one know if there are two types that could be fitted to a mk1 or perhaps the last owner replaced them with something else that would fit. The car was registered in 2006 but has a 55 plate 

Any help welcome.

I think I've got a spare mirror cover somewhere, driver's side, in beige IIRC, but it'd do to keep you mobile.

 

I'll have a look for it and report back, came off an 05 plate car IIRC, but it's all one anyway. Located in Ayrshire but could post up north.

Hi there, Sorry for not getting back. Something came up. I'm ok at the moment as managed to get a new glass and stik it back together. Will check out my local scrap yard. As said the one they sent was smaller and I am waiting to hear baack from them. I reckon there were two sizes available or perhaps they changed the design? The one I got was only £38 new so not the end of the world. I could always order another for the passenger side so they match

Thanks

It is a RHD/LHD car thing. The passenger side is slightly smaller because it doesn't need the blind spot mirror part. Parts for UK cars should be 6Y2 prefix.

 

Parts number start 6Y2857502xx. The "xx" denotes revisions and whether it's fully electric or manually controlled.

From here: https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2005-453/8/857-857040/

 

 

I can only find manual "big" right side mirrors outside of used parts on eBay. Most of the parts sites offer LHD (6Y1 prefix) parts.

Hi there, Both mine are the same size and larger but the driver side had a dotted line and then more of a wide angle. There both manual and not heated. Thanks for the part number info.  I will get in touch with a few scrap yards in the uk and see what they come up with. There used to be a few near me but now down to one that sells parts. Everything else is crushed on arrival. I assume the after market one I bought is for a LHD vehicle passenger side as it was listed as equivalent to 6y1  I got the part number off 7zap but must have looked up a LHD vehicle by mistake.Managed to repair the old one for now to keep me going.

Many thanks again

If you're at the scrapyard wou'll have a decent choice - Mk 1 Octavia, Mk 4 Golf's and early Audi A 3 mirrors all fit.

Try Autocrash parts in Farnworth, near Bolton, excellent knowledge.
