My mirrors gone crazy!! :)

[balkanac]

when i try to adjust the left mirror it works fine, but if want to adjust the right one, the left one copies everything! It moves as well! Im able to rotate the switch full circle so i think that the problem is there. Did anyone come across a similar problem?

Yeah mine does that too and I thought they were stuffed as well. It turns out that they're meant to do that. Have a look at your manuals Section/Book 3.1 Controls & Equipment, page 58, Synchronised mirror adjustment.
Mine makes reference to moving the left one for synchronisation but I think it's probably for the lhd market as the rest of the manual is.
If you adjust the right hand mirror first and then the left you can get them both to your desired position.
I think it's so you can adjust a mirror for parking so you can see the kurb or cars either side of you maybe. You can then move the mirrors back for normal driving and they will return to the same position??? Must be a German thing...

Do you even have heated mirrors? I don't even know if I have them? I did notice the other night though that the mirrors and my windscreen were fogging up and when I turned the demister on both defogged.

Well I didn't think I did but perhaps I do?!? Put it this way - they have never fogged up!

It never gets cold enough in QLD to warant them.... Or heated seats

[balkanac]

that is strange, i never heard of any car doing that before. Im even more suprised that im finding this out now, after a year of ownership!

BS... It's bumming me majorly at the moment that my seats are broken. Damn cold mornings.

Oh yeah, my heated seats are toasty too!

Some areas in SEQ have been down to 3 degrees lately.
I have seen the O/side temperature at 12.5 degrees this morning around 7:30am. So maybe it does get cold enough?!
