I remember seeing somewhere that the leon has a function whereby when you put the car into reverse the near side mirror tilts down to aid parking next to kerbs. Is this right?

Wing mirror & reverse

My '06 FR doesn't, and its a real pain because the wheels are nigh on impossible to see as the body curves round so much. I've had to learn to gauge it very accurately on my narrow street where you need to park close in...
Not that I know of. I know a couple of the more expensive audi's have it but the leon sad but not true.
mirror and reverse
I have had my stylance for a year and I have never found this facility. I know that it is on the Golf. Would be interested to find out if it works on the leon and how! Like I only discovered a few weeks ago that turning off the esp raises the rev range on the dsg and pressing the key fob once locks the doors and holding it down folds the mirrors in

If its an option on the A3 and the Golf (I never saw it on the options list when I bought my MkV) then I would think that it is something you could do with VAG-COM. TBH I have never heard of it on the Golf, but I bought mine in 2005 so they may well have introduced it as an option after that.
on thre vw website it states
Luxury pack 1 - Electrically foldable door mirrors including reverse activated kerb view adjustment on passenger door mirror

i remember that my 2004 LCR did it as well, would be good on the FR as I am so paranoid of scuffing the wheels!
Yeah but did you not have to do something like.............. open all the doors, roll one sleeve up and wear odd socks, switch ignition to stage 2, put car in reverse, adjust mirror then turn off ignition.
You then put mirror back to normal and it adjusted each time you selected reverse?

I wonder whether the Golf has an newer ECU than the Leon...
(Luxury Pack when I ordered was floding mirrors with little lights underneath them to illuminate puddles... And heated seats I think.)

Does your car have electric seats? Are you thinking about folding mirrors or the tilt when reverse is selected?

There is an option in vag-com for that, but it says " only for memory Seats ". I never activated it and see what happens. I`ll check today and then see if it work or not.
