Squeaking sound from mirror in Cupra TFSI

Over the last few days I am hearing an ennoying sound when automatically folding the passenger's side mirror towards the end of its turn ... It is quite different than before and certainly not compared to the smouth sound that the other (driver's side) mirror produces... It sounds like something is impeding its movement (cracking)...!!!
The car has only 1700 Km on odo since early July 2007 ... Do you think that this is something that I should worry about and drive to the dealer to check for ...??? Has anybody had a similar experience in Leon MkII with electric folding mirrors ...???

I think this is quite common. happened to mine a few times. took it to the dealer and they greased it up. Still does it slightly though.

Thanks, I'll do that ! Is there a chance that it might stop responding to folding ...???

 

[DanGB]

nah, just a bit sqeaky, thats all.

OK, I can stand it until dealer greases it ...

chris i got the same problem @ 2000km...
when i got to the service they greased it up but it came over again and again...
service says that there's a wire kind of thing in the mirrors...it makes the sound...but our mirrors are fixed to the door...repairing that wire would be a pain in the a.s for the service..because they need to remove the door panels and etc.
i get used to that sound...and it sometimes crackles less=)

My Cupra and of 05.2007 and has 14.000km and makes racket the same! In the taste nothing of the racket and I go to make some thing to decide to that, therefore it will be itself the Seat must come equal, therefore I prefer to make! Later I explain here as I decided! TO BE WELL! THANKS

I have same problem on the drivers side :-(

I've got an annoying graunchy sound from both mirrors. Tried WD40 which worked until it rained. Also despite carefully spraying just a small amount, it left a smear down both doors where the rain / car washing washed it out which I had to polish out. So if your thinking of trying good ol' WD, it isnt really a solution.

 

[Marsden1002]

Same on my drivers. Only does it now and the but does not do it in rain - guessing its acting as a grease or something!

 

[Rob66]

Yes me too. Mine does it on the driver's side, a crunching/grinding sound starting to get annoying - will take up with dealer next time there.

I had that problem too, I just used a quick spray of WD40 and now its gone

worth a try

noisey door mirrors

took my car into dealers last week to have air con checked while there asked them to take a look at drivers door mirror. Upon collecting car was told they had replaced both door mirrors as both were noisey! replaced my ass! you can see the grease on mirrors and blob on A post they kindley left me, another fine service from seat dealership.

mine both squeak and grind very badly.

They'll both be replaced at 10,000 (hopefully!)

 

[FReddytdi]

they had to replace mine, the passenger one is now squeaking.

 

[Chris_Cupra]

I went to the dealer's this morning, they greased both mirrors and the squeaking has gone ... I'll be a happy man until this happens again ...

Thank you all for your replies and feedback ...!!!

Decided problem! The racket that makes the mirrors! he is dirty that it is in the part underneath of the mirrors, pass with grurrrrsssuuu a paper bit to clean is new and nao I finished to make! I wait to have helped

 

[shuikit]

I just got my FR back from a service at the dealer and they replaced some parts in the mirrors and they no longer grind/squeak. All I have now is the noise of the motors.

I asked what was replaced, but the woman at the service desk couldn't tell me. The exterior of the mirrors are the old ones, so it wasn't just the whole mirror that was replaced.

Hope the grinding noise doesn't come back!

ours is 5 days old and the passenger mirror grinds like a bugger, the drivers one squeaks a bit towards the end of the turn, will probably get them sorted at the first service.
