Hi all, 

So the video I have attached shows one issue that is slightly odd and seems to be fine once the wing mirrors are folded in and back out. This only seems to occur when the weather is slightly colder. 

Along with this, I have noticed at times that wing mirror's heater isn't working as well as the other side or to the point that it doesn't work at all. 

Is this possibly down to a wire or is there a particular fuse each wing mirror that is causing this fault? 

Thanks! 

I see the mirror turning and out. What's the problem?

It could be a loose connection, you could get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

So if i get into the car, the wing mirror on the RHS will get stuck in that position you see at the start of the video unless i move the wing mirrors back in/out again. Only seems to happen in colder weather. 

 

I know @Steve Q mentioned the diag check which I'll ask for the next time the car is in as its not a huge issue for now but not sure if this is just down to wiring etc but will definitely look into it! 

Please keep us posted on how you get on 

I have a similar issue with my a6 c8. When cold the drivers mirror does not unfold.  If I fold and then unfolds using the control know then it unfolds correctly. I also have a problem in cold weather with the drivers door lock. It thinks it’s open when it isnt, rather than a sensible message it says parking brake fault and won’t open using the outer handle, but works with the inner one.
