door mirror

Featured Replies

can anyone tell me what the small lights under the door mirrors are for

They are called "Entry Lights"

They come on after the car is unlocked or when a front door is opened, and go off after about 30 secs.

They are supposed to light up the area around the door, but to be honest imho they are a fairly useless gimmick, even in unlit areas at night.

Much more useful is the "Driveway Light" function (I think it has a different VAG name but that's what SWMBO calls it)

Get home in the dark, turn off headlights, take key out and flash the headlights. Once the front door is opened the dipped beam lights up and switches off again after about another 30 secs. after the door is closed and locked. Very useful for getting the front door key in.

Bad sensors most likely - VAGCOM/VCDS might tell you which if you have access to it. Mine has had 3 of the 4 sensors replaced now and they are expensive - close to £100 each - though I have Skoda approved warranty so they've been replaced under that. Some people have the whole system replaced with a cheap ebay setup for £30-50.
