Hi all does anyone know how to change the motor in the electric folding wing mirrors on the 206 gti 180?
Any help will be much appreciated.

You mean the Scaletrix motor that makes it fold?
The motor will be rusted up
Lots of torx 20 screws.
Then there's 4 rivets that need drilling out to strip these mirrors down once apart, long countersunk self tapping screws are the way round the rivets on reassembly, i couldn't find a supplier for them.

If you can find someone who supplies the motors, you want to be putting some money on the Euros tonight. I spent months looking for someone and bought numerous from model shops and none are powerful enough
Its a new mirror I'm afraid

Scaletrix ones weren't powerful enough for mine. Burnt three out on two different sets of mirrors.

Nearly all electric folding mirrors use the same motor / gearbox unit, not just PSA Peugeot / Citroen

I've got loads in my draw and none of them were powerful enough 
Bought some from a RG [the ones i showed you ages ago that were totally different to yours] and two sets from a GT
