Guys the wing mirrors work correctly when I turn the passenger side one up down left right but drivers side one also operates passenger side.WHAT GIVES THERE. Also wifey just told me that a couple of weeks ago only the drivers side mirror folded up.

This is not a fault. If you have the bluetooth pack you can select both mirrors work together or mirrors work seperatly.

if you don't have bluetooth then you need a dealer or vag-com to change this.

The mirror not folding up is a fault and is one for the dealers to fix but you can lay a bet that it won't do it when you take it to them.

I dont have the bluetooth so vagcom it is then although they worked fine before I think.
Yeah bet its ok when I go see them but the mirrors not operating correctly won't be ok.
Thanks for that though.

NATH, Noticed you have colour coded wing mirrors.Are they sprayed by yourself or bought as is?

They are Cupra mirror covers (glossy black plastic) rather than painted black. I also have the glossy black front grill surround too. I'm not going for the Cupra wish it was, rather tha black n red look with the tints and the black goodies. ;)

Black wheels later methinks..................

Do you use millers additive.If so is the car dependant on it after you start using it??

No mate, I haven't been to fill the tank yet as it came with a full tank on 23/5/09. :p

I won't bother with millers in mine.

Going back to your mirors, just move the drivers one (both) first then move the passenger one (on it's own) after.

Ye.Sounds about right.Think I will stick with the neat derv too but I was thinking about the bhp gain more than anything.Already got a panel filter for that reason.Want a remap though for the extra torque it gives.

Just been out to the car again and the mirrors are still not right.The drivers side still works both mirrors.VAGCOM dealer it is then.
Moving the drivers mirror via the switch then passenger one is not the point really as the drivers one moves both.

I think Nath means move the drivers to position the drivers, then move the passenger on its own to position it. The reason the drivers moves both is so you can point both mirrors down at the same time to help parking.

Not a fault at all just get them right once then you can adjust both together for a different driver or after adjusting seat height or rake, you can also drop both for reversing-rim savers!!
