Auto Dimming Mirror Failure

My Auto dimming mirror has packed up, It doesn't appear to be the crystals as I can't see any signs of leakage within the glass but it just isn't auto dimming... Any one know of a repair service in the UK or where I can get a replacement? Or even how to test it :)

Thanks

Carl

RE: Weird Shutter at 3-4k rpm when floored

I have had the same problem, changed plugs, serviced changed the exhaust sensors and was still the same, at first I did not have any errors on VAG but then it showed a missfire on 4 so we changed the coil pack and that has made a big difference. The car is still not 100% right so I think I need to c...

I had the plugs change and the exhaust probes changed, but the problem was still there. Showing a misire on 4 so changed the coil pack. The misfire has gone but the car still feels wrong the power put down is lumpy and the car chugs when it is ticking over. Is it worth changing all the coil packs? T...

OK I had the exhaust sensors changed and new plugs, but it is still doing the same thing, it had a new maf a few months ago but we popped a new one on just to see if it made a difference but it didnt. The car doesnt have a boost leak as far as we can tell, I was wondering if it could be a fuel probl...

RE: £490.85 quote for Audi Dealer service...

That will be why you are paying £490 instead of £250! The joys of driving an Audi A2 ;) must be to much for you to resist.

RE: £490.85 quote for Audi Dealer service...

I have used Five Oaks Audi several times as my office is only a few miles from them, they are very pleasant and helpful but you pay for the Audi badge. I too wanted to keep Audi service schedule but when my car reached 100k I swapped to QST in Haywards Heath, the prices are much better and as friend...

Boring topic

I am sure this has been asked before, I have searched but cant find the answers and no I am not looking for god but maybe the Holy Grail! I am so fed up with buckled wheels, soft or hard RS4 wheels makes little difference, the wheels all bend the same. I love the BBS wheels but just can't afford the...

I gave my car a little raz the other day obviously on a private road ;), i was in 4th gear and at about 5500 rpm it lost power then cut back in and out again all the way to 7000 rpm then did the same in 5th gear at the same revs. In all the other gears it revs cleanly all the way up to the limiter. ...

My Turbos did not whistle at all until I had the remap, if I turn the Revo code off then no whistle. I think the whistle comes from running the extra boost. As a note on a warranty, I had a warranty with Warranty wise I found them good except for when the car had done higher mileage they have a clau...
