just started having this problem . mirrors fold up ok ,.then came back to van and started engine and they did not go back . drove back and forth, put heated mirrors on , open and closed van . they would not fold back down. then after about 10 mins they both went down. im not sure if this had any think to do with it but i could not get the windows to drop with the remote too. ? is there any other way of moving them if this happens ?
The only way I have found to reset the mirrors is to use the mirror control knob on the drivers door. i have found that turning the knob to put the mirrors in the up position and then turning it to down does move both mirrors back down - so far on my van anyway
mine is a 6.1 . not sure if they have changed what the nob does. but ill give it a try. ill have another look at the manual too. thanks.
The knob still has the fold/unfold function on the 6.1
yes . its different to all our other vw cars we have. we thought it was heated mirrors on or off . not on or fold . we have been turning heated mirrors off not realising it was folding them up. we have been folding them up with the key fob. with the nob in the wrong position. so all working fine now. its just me that's broke.
Glad you are all sorted. Heated mirror is on the same button too. But rotate it another click and you are then folding.
