The electric heated mirrors are acting funny, when trying u 2 adjust the right one it moves the left one aswell!! and when the switch is on 2 heat them only right heats not left!!!

Does anyone knw what could b wrong??

What's the VW slogan again?

"If only everything in life was as reliable as a VolksWagen!!"

In a vain attempt to wind him up, I showed this post to a friend of mine, who was, until recently, service manager for Dovercourt VAG group in London.

He said all these were

"Standard features on a VW car!!"

"It's all in the bloody manual!"

"there's nothing wrong with the car, that's meant to happen!"

Funny thing is, he's now Service Manager for a large Mercedes Dealership!!
