1999 Passat Heated wing mirrors

#1

Hi,
I have had a Passat TDI 115 sport and don't know if its got heated wing
mirrors that don't work or just normal mirrors.

If its got heated mirrors how do you switch them on.

If its got heated mirrors that don't work what can cause it.

are they easy to replace and around what cost

Cheers
Craig

Put you rear screen heater on. If the mirrors clear, there is your
answer. If you still suspect you may have them its an electrical prob cos
they work off the same fuse.

I that doesn't work, gently prise off one of the mirrors from its housing

and on an electrical heated one, there will be 2 contacts on the rear of the
glass with a coil of wire glued to the glass.

I have a 1999 1.9tdi and the controls are on the drivers door...with the
knob set in the central point both mirrors should heat up automatically,
there is no on/off switch as such, just up(drivers mirror), center and
bottom (passenger side).

I had a 1999 Golf 1.8T and the mirrors were heated when the rear demister
switch was operated, the Mk5 Golf has a seperate switch, I would imagine the
passat ones operate with the rear demister (do you have the owners handbook
still?) my 1990 Corrado had heated mirrors too and these came on at ambient
temp <4c, however my friends 52 Audi A4 does not have heated wing mirrors at
all it was a 100ukp option

Put you rear screen heater on. If the mirrors clear, there is your answer.

If you still suspect you may have them its an electrical prob cos they work

I've found on my Passat the heated mirrors only work when the mirror

position control button is set to the centre position
