Hi all,

I just bought my first vw golf (1999, 1.9 TDI s ) the other day, and about two hours after getting it home the drivers side wing mirror stopped functioning properly.

The problem is that when the electric mirror positioning knob is on the right or left position it only moves the passenger mirror. However, when its on the right position all the movements are in reverse. I guess this is some form of wiring malfunction, but wondered if anyone had a similar problem, or would know the best way to resolve the issue.

I'm not sure if its the motor, or not, but just in case I'm bidding and winning a second hand one on ebay.

cheers in advance for any help
