Mirror dip on reverse(passenger)

[StephenED30]

Is this called progress?

Sorry to bring this up(AGAIN) but i just need to figure this out
i fitted a new mirror motor to the passenger mirror and then tried it again but as soon as i put the car in reverse the bloody mirror just keeps going up then out a little bit??????????????
i really need to make a video of this to show exactly what is happening!!!

Could it something obscure like the wrong side motor as in if it was turned the other way it might be correct??

Stu its def not on the wrong way round as i have checked with another mirror!!!

What does the gen3 door controller look like and is there somebody near Liverpool with vcds who can scan my car.

2005 GTI here...

I have the folding electric mirrors but as far as I am aware not the reverse dip... if I do I certainly haven't found out how to set it up

[rich83]

You are aware that you have so SET the "dipped mirror position" arent you?

By the looks of it, its set wrong and thats why its going "up then out a little "

I never set mine, Rich. Just enabled it and worked first time.

Just leave the mirror selector switch on the passenger side...

[rich83]

Of course... but if its set wrong in the first place it need adjusting!

Rich i have just fitted a new mirror this morning to the drivers side with the 7 pin plug so that also now has memory in the mirror too,but it still does the same

i have tried to adjust it but once its set and then i drive forward i doesn't go back to the driving position it just stays up the way or all the way down

hi Scott
Try it again but drive off. An earlier post said that he had to reach a certain speed before the mirror went back

That is true but by moving the mirror adjust switch th any other setting also puts the mirror back to normal position.

Just tried it Ed it does nothing the mirror just stays down!!!
Also with my other keys when i turn off the ignition the mirror moves to the bottom even more
but also with this set of keys the mirror sometimes goes to the top

I have a 2007 56 plate GTI (UK) with Factory Fitted Parking Sensors and Highline Computer with Highline CCM.

My mirror dips but have noticed that it only does it with one of the keys so I guess I need to set it up with the other one.

Instructions I got from another site:

1. put it in reverse

2. put mirror in L position

3. adjust mirror to see curb

4. take it out of L position

5. take out of reverse

(4 + 5 may work other way round)

Not tried it myself as was already set up with one of the keys but will give it a go with the other one.
