HI

I bought a polo gti and the mirror switch is broken.

It has position 1 0 3 as normal,then on the other side it has a picture of a mirror with an arrow. Is that for folding mirrors?

I don't think any of the GTi's came with folding mirrors.

Have you got a picture of it?

*EDIT* I've just looked at my mirror switch, all it has is R 0 L there's no arrows, I believe they are all the same.

To post a picture, upload it somewhere like http://www.imageshack.us

Then you should be able to just copy and paste the link into the reply box.

Heres a pic of my mirror switch, apologies for how blurry it is.

if possible, could you prise it out of the handle and let me know the VW part number printed on the back of it, so I can look it up

Cheers

Yep that is what I meant, that little pic on the left I do not have, nor have seen before... I realised you snapped it off good and proper hehe

Keep the camera further back a bit to get a better pic :P

I think, as you will need a new switch anyway, take it out and let me know the part number
