Hi all,
so recently purchased a 2014 GTI PP. Literally over the weekend the passenger mirror drop down for when in reverse seems to have started to play up. It moves when selecting reverse but only ever so slightly wheras before it went down considerable to show the curb side.
Any ideas why it would suddenly do this?
Thanks,
Raj

Sometimes, they can play up. Simply reset it
1. Put the car in reverse
2. Set the mirror where you'd like it to be
3. When selecting Drive, the mirror should return to it's original position

Have you changed which key you're using? This might be the reason it's changed - the other key is on a different setting.

Ah cool will try that :cool:

Same key so will try the reset mentioned above.

Think that is only for cars with electric memory seats?
Exterior mirrors (only for driver's seat with memory function): position, lowering while reversing

Mine does it different amounts on different keys and I've not got electric seats. I'd guess that the memory they refer to is for the actual mirror positions, not the position of the reverse dip function.

Ah, yes see what you mean. Never used the spare key to honest.

I would say that you have accidentally adjusted it whilst the car was in reverse.
As others have said, stick the car into reverse gear, set the passenger mirror to where you want it for when you are reversing. When you then pull away in first, after about 5 or 10 seconds, the mirror will move back up the position you had set it for normal driving.

Mine aren't electric but still do this drop on the passenger mirror.

Agreed. Think may have accidently adjusted it while it was in reverse as did the reset of setting it while in reverse and it worked. Quite clever really that it just memorises the set position in both reverse and normal to then move between them when reversing.

My car is just over 3 years and today for the first time the passenger mirror dipped in reverse. Didn't realise it did this 😎😎

Always great when you discover something new. It's such a great feature that I would have missed fi I didn't have it now, as have it on all my BM's.
Saves my wheels without having to park a mile away from the curb :laugh:
