    My 2010 Passat B6 has similar door mirrors to my 2007 Jetta and indeed many other VW models of around that age have door mirrors of a consistent design, shape and style. From inside the car the indicators on the Jetta can clearly be seen to flash at the outer edge - but why not in the Passat? On investigation, even though they appear to be identical, the mirror housing on the Passat is slightly bigger but the lens beneath is the same size as the Jetta - hence why the light (at the outer edge) cannot be seen, unless of course, my Passat has been fitted with the wrong size lenses.

    Can anyone with a B6 Passat see their indicators flash at the outer edge when seated inside?

    I too cannot see mine when in the car. I was convinced they were faulty when I got it but if you put the hazards on and get behind or to the sides and they are very much in action. My car Sept 2009 2.0ltr TDi Highline.

    Yes, the actual mirror housing is slightly bigger than the lens beneath - hence why you can't see the edge flash from inside the car. The lens itself doesn't quite reach to the edge - but it does in the Jetta. Very strange....maybe VW having made the mirror housing just a few millimetres bigger for the Passat decided to save the cost of making bigger lenses and used the same ones from the other models!
