If anyone is thinking of replacing the complete door mirror it seems pretty easy,
just disassemble as per the AUDI manuals (notig the plastic cover!).

You do not need to remove the inner door panel, you can thread all the cables through the hole in the borken mirror and then back through the new one and re-reconect them, see the pics below - I will write a "how to" when I get 10 mins.

As a side note the motor mirror looks to be of poor quality, like the ones in the doors locks, its open cicuit, took the whole thing apart just for kicks!

There is no feed back for the folding mirror, its just on or off, so I guess the computer sees no mirror in the car as its open circuit, so no higher load feedback either when its being used.

There is no way to repair the motor or grease it , the big spring is in under significant tension, repair is not an option!
