Title: Auto dimming mirror
Post by: Markweir12 on December 17, 2014, 08:52:15 am
Hi,

My Dimming Mirror isn't working, anyone know which fuse I need to check?

Any other things to look at also?

have you check the little button under the centre of the mirror to make sure you haven't switched it off inadvertently?

When it's switched on, a little green light below the mirror glass should illuminate  :happy2:

Here's a question, can the darkness be changed in vcds or what its called. I know you can on the previous gen Volvo S60's V70....

Another quick question on this topic. The central and right mirrors both dim but the left hand mirror doesn't. Is that normal?

Both my wing mirrors auto dim. However I have an 05 gti and i think in later years VW were penny pinching and only provided the driver side one.

Speaking of which, just had my drivers side mirror replaced because it failed. Just the part cost £180  :surprised: Lets hope it doesn't happen to anyone else!!
