Ok, I found the setting in MFD that lets me control the mirror behaviour. But the driver's side mirror is still broken - the auto-stop mechanism is defunct somehow so the mirror bends all the way around when I unlock the car. I'm looking for a replacement, but I don't understand the difference between the 6-, 9-, 13- and 15-pin versions for sale by various breakers. Is there a list of features for these mirrors that I can compare with?

I bought a 2010 Superb 2 a few weeks ago, and I'm finally finding time to work through the small issues it came with. The current problem is the mirrors. When I turn on the ignition, the left (driver's) mirror attempts to fold all the way in or out, depending on the switch position. But it never stops at the standard location: it's either fully extended, or fully closed, and I can hear the motor trying to turn it even more. This would make me think that the position switch/sensor inside the mirror is at fault, BUT ALSO, the Left-off-Right positions on the mirror controls are also misbehaving. If the control is set to Right then it controls the right (passenger) mirror. But if it's set to Left then it controls BOTH mirrors, which makes adjustments less than easy. Occam's Razor tells me that the control panel in the driver's armrest at fault, but any other ideas would be appreciated. And how would I begin repairing this?

Hi all! First of, thanks for maintaining such a great wealth of info on these cars over the past 15+ years. There's a treasure trove of old posts to read through while I do my research. So, I'm looking at buying a Superb II kombi (estate) with the 3.6 V6 engine and DSG auto box. The one I've found is fairly high mileage (150k miles) but it's been well looked after based on the service records. I wanted to know what particular issues I should pay attention to when I go to see it? It's had the mechatronic unit and clutches replaced 20k miles ago, and the timing chain serviced 30k miles ago, so I'd expect the drivetrain to be fairly solid. But what other areas are known weak spots? Most importantly, are there known rust spots that might turn out to be a deal breaker? Thanks in advance for any tips and advice.
