hello guys,

i have an B5 S4.

my problem seems to be that the driver side heated wing mirror seems to on permanently. firstly, can some one tell me how these are activated - is it with the heated rear window, the outside temperature, or???

second my passenger does not seem to work - is this connected? would there be a separate fuse, a damage heating element, broken wire...?

will Vag.com be able to see this problem

any help would be appreciated

thanks
dave

The heated mirrors turn on when - you have the heated rear window on AND the outside temperature is below 12 Celsius.

AFAIK there is one fuse for both mirrors.

VAG-COM won't help - there's no diagnostics for the heated mirror elements.

thanks for this, do you know if the heating element is in/on the mirror. can this be replaced?

It's in the mirror - you have to replace the mirror.
