Golf Mk4 Electric Mirror switch

[mydogsgotnonose]

Hello there (Golf Mk 4 TDi).

My car currently does not have heated electric mirrors. The joystic part of my switch snapped at the weekend, and the only ones I can currently find on E-Bay are the heated versions.

Can I fit a heated version ? Will I be able to wire in the heating element - I know most cars are wired up with all sorts of extras (eg front fog lamps, cruise etc), but just no switches added.

Please help.

regards

The switch is a generic switch.

:p sam are you sure? for non-electric/heated mirrors, i thought the switch was different in design, as the angle has to be altered manually using a rubber joystick?

as for wiring it in, im sure its possible, not entirely sure how though im afraid :o

I may be wrong but I read it that he had electric but not heated mirrors.

If that's not the case then, yup, it's the rubber thing mentioned above.

My switched snapped off and i wasnt very happy!

anyway, i looked on ebay and well the end prices at the time were going out £15 on which i would have to pay delivery of 2-3£.

Instead i went to VW and brought for £18, atleast this way tehre would be some gaurantee with it.
The one i brought was a heated one, although ym car doesnt have the heated service, but it fitted and works.

thanks for you help with this one.

My mirrors are indeed electric, but not heated.

Sounds like I can fit either or.

I'll try the mighty Bay of E.....:biglaugh:
