Door mirror switch

Thanks Steve, yeah heaps but for wrong hand drive.

Must admit. I was surprised to find that they are still available. A bit pricey for a switch but does look so much better than the original scratched unit.

This little gem arrived this morning from Holland. Many thanks to Alex who got this for me from Audi Tradition.
It will just Finnish off the interior very nicely.

Nice! In a similar vein of fixing sticky button syndrome, anyone looked at or have used one of those Sticker kits for their HVAC control?

I went on eBay. Bought a broken HVAC unit with good buttons for peanuts. I think it came from Lithuania IIRC.
The buttons can be flipped out with a feeler gauge in the top. And replaced in seconds.
No need to remove radio or HVAC unit.
Just make sure they go in the right way. Best to do them one at a time and you won’t go wrong.

Excellent I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Looks good, but does your car have folding mirrors?

[steve2003rs6]

Hi Shop. Yes it’s always had folding mirrors. That was the problem.
Loads of switches available without fold. But I wanted to change like for like.
Took ages to find one.

[Shoppinit]

Now I can't remember if mine has folding mirrors.

[steve2003rs6]

Now that looks a lot better.
I initially ordered a new switch from Audi. Looked nothing like my switch so returned it.
In fact it is the right switch but comes without the top plastic bit with the symbols.
At least I now know that they are still available.

Sorting out these little things is like scratching an itch!

When you asked for the switch did the dealer clarify that the cover was seperate to the switch?

[steve2003rs6]

No lander91. I wasn’t aware of it until you mentioned it.
I just assumed it was one unit.
Audi never mentioned it either.
So basically there are 3 separate parts to the switch
Switch itself
Then the plastic top with the symbols
Then the top knob.
So confusing isn’t it?

[Lander91]

Ah ok, I was trying to gauge the level of competency of the dealership, seems to be a bit of a common theme that if it's older than 5 years old it may as well be another brand.

Steve's switch is the colour 'Satin Black'
Is this the only colour for interior trim pieces?
I have black leather with white piping.

[steve2003rs6]

My interior is black with silver/white piping.
Not sure which. But the contrast on the black leather is just right imo.
The new replacement switch cover is a perfect swop from the one removed.
